2 things ...first my scar is only and inch and a quarter those 3 inch scars seem huge.

Secondly i was wondering how long it will be before i can workout fully again my doc said 1 month of pt after 4 weeks..so does that mean full workouts in 2 months just curious if anybody can relate.
My doc told me to start walking again as soon as I felt like it. Two days after surgery I walked 6 blocks and within a week was up to three miles. I'm doing 3.5 miles 6 days a week, 5 weeks post surgery. I'm still having trouble with my throat, though.

Good luck with your recovery.
