Darlington on Pouncey

[JTC111]

Just had mine out 4 weeks ago. He would not be recovered yet. Can't lift anything over 15lbs for 3 weeks or you can get a hernia.

I had forgotten all about that, but my surgeon said the same thing to me.

Do you think a pro athlete might have more recovery powers than you?

When the internet research comes from legit medical info websites, I think it does count for something

Having access to WebMD.com doesn't make one a doctor.

mine was laparoscopy with no problems at all an it was 3 weeks before I could lift 15 lbs. But some finheavens experts did research on the internet so I guess I have no clue what I am talking about. If it's on the internet it has to be true. Bonjour.

I actually am an expert and if you read my post, I never predicted a timetable. I simply stated that if there was a question as to whether the GB should be removed, it should have been done.
Recovery times for any surgery can be unpredictable and much is based on the condition of the patient as well as any co-morbidiites.
However, in an uncomplicated lap ccky 3-4 wks recovery time would be reasonable.
I don't know the extent or nature of Pouncey's problem, but it doesn't sound like he's improving. That's why I suggested that surgery should have been done.
