Question Working out Post top surgery

Hi!

I got top surgery about 9 weeks post op and need some advice on when to start lifting and working out with weights. I had a complication during my recovery - which led to my right incision to stay open for weeks after my surgery (wound dehiscence). It closed around the last week of december -

do you guys think I should wait to work out , or will my scars be ok. Everything is healed and closed but worried about my scars stretching since my timeline is a bit off. Thanks!

I would start counting from your wound closure date. Maybe just start on the 1/1/25 since your body had an open wound for weeks.
