Guest guest Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 I can't remember the pounds, I am thinking 20 pounds. You shouldn't lift anything heavier than 20 pounds and that was for 6 weeks. I know they said don't vacuum for 3 weeks. I loved it --because my sweetie was wonderful about that and did it for me. He also loaded and unloaded the dishwasher for me too. Take care, Suzanne In a message dated 1/8/2010 1:24:07 P.M. Pacific Standard Time, kimmies_mommy@... writes: Hi! I am going to have the surgery done, but I need to coordinate it with my schedule. Are there any lifting/activity restrictions after the surgery? If there are, what are they and for how long?

Guest guest Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 Nothing to it... becomes second nature for a short time, I don't have any restrictions now. Except jumping out of planes which I wouldn't have done any way. -- Re: Out in one night Anyone... I KNOW I'd flunk the restrictions on a posterior appraoch. In a message dated 8/6/2011 7:22:02 P.M.

Guest guest Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 You heed restrictions if you have to.........remember that the incision in another area causes different feelings in the thigh so you remember to things 'right'....... and I had our replacements done one day apart.........she was braver than me because she had been through the procedure before. it was all new to me so I was more cautious.......BARB in Florida Re: Out in one night Anyone...
