How long after surgery until you bowled?

Hi All! I skipped summer league this year because my surgery was 1/2 way through the season. I'm looking at fall leagues and am wondering how soon after surgery people started bowling? (I figure since my lifting restriction is lifted I can bowl) Any one have any problems? Thanks! Margaret

HEY MARGARET, I WAITED A WHILE......I THINK IT WAS ABOUT 3 MONTHS OUT FOR ME.........BUT I THINK I COULD HAVE GONE BACK SOONER, I JUST WANTED TO BE SURE. MY BALL SEEMED SO MUCH HEAVIER. AND ANOTHER THING....NOW THAT I DONT HAVE THAT BIG OLE HIP ANYMORE.....I HAVE TO GET USE TO KEEPING MY ARM STRAIGHT....I STILL SWING IT AROUND LIKE I AM STILL BIG...... SO JUST ASK YOUR DR. YOU MAY CAN GO AFTER 6 TO 8 WEEKS....DEPENDING ON HOW WELL YOU HAVE HEALED UP!!!!! GOOD LUCK AND LET ME KNOW! I BOWL EVERY WED. NIGHT. WE WILL FINISH OUR NO TAP LEAGUE TOMORROW NIGHT AND THEN NEXT WEEK START OUR REG.LEAGUE PLAY! TAKE CARE AND LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU DO! MUCH LOVE AND HUGS KIM

HI MARGARET.....I WILL BE STARTING UP IN SEPT...FOR WINTER ..MY SURGERY WAS IN JUNE.....I'M READY TO BOWL.....

So that's about 4 months...do you think you would have been ready before that?

Hi Margaret, I just had my surgery on July 26. My doc said I can start bowling when my league starts up the first week of Sept. I'm really looking forward to it. Linda
