My surgery took me 6 months to come back from. Soooo many different factors to consider, activity level before surgery, weight, how well the surgery goes, how good you respond to rehab. I was very active, not overweight, very flexible. I was told by the surgeon for my situation, physio would not do much, but to find a physio that likes the gym and focus on strength training. I went to a well respected physio who was also a buddy. He was also a powerlifting coach. About 4 years after, still going strong
