Can I start running 7 weeks after belt Lipectomy?

Asked By:newyorkerrrr in New York, NY

Had a full belt lipectomy done on December 16th 2016. Recovery going well, no complications. Went back to the gym after one month and have been doing brisk walking and stationary bike. I feel great and I'd like to start running but my surgeon said wait for full 2 months ( which is only 12 days from now ). Wanted to get opinions from other surgeons on whether it would be harmful for me to start running before the full two months or if some light running ( 3 or 4 miles ) is ok? Thank you
