I'm taking the bullets out of the gun late next month. I'm assuming a full week off with no major activity whatsoever is key. It will be a month out from a GORUCK endurance event I have planned though - think carrying backpacks over long distances, CrossFit-style workouts, and carrying heavy sandbags/logs/each other. I'm thinking a full week off (Friday surgery, off until the next Sunday so about 9 full days), then back to PT as normal. Usual schedule is 5 major days per week (currently usually 3-4 are circuit training style, 1-2 long endurance days, one easy cardio/mobility day, one full day off). Is this a realistic expectation?

You timeline will be shorter than you think, but depends on which procedure ...two cuts or one
funny story...
without my knowledge my doctor booked the operating theater and I had an audience. Talk about shrinkageI don't necessarily agree with everything I say.

This thread is relevant to my interests as I'm thinking about getting this done in the near future too.
I don't feel too bad now after reading the responses. Except that theater procedure.. as if that isn't awkward enough with just the doctor.Age: 42

I don't recall my hips being sore, but I recall my FIL laughing as I got out of the truck I walked like I had been on a horse for a whole day. They had watched our two kids while my wife drove me to the procedure. In retrospect, I'm sure I looked funny walking

Was so long ago I don't remember to be honest with you. But I bet 4 weeks will be plenty.
