Will you receive a post-operative rehab plan and what will it contain? Most units will give you instructions on what to do and what you cannot do after surgery. Typically we really want our patients to get up, go out for walks, be as active as possible. However, we do normally restrict exercise after two weeks or longer if it's weightlifting. But quick resumption of walking is really key to good recovery.
