I don't know exactly but after having my gall bladder removed via latro...it was about 2.5 weeks before I could lift (I did light cardio for a week before that though). & about another 2.5 weeks before I could train abs - because they really had to go digging around in there (almost had to open me up). Anyway, I'd guess you'll probably have to wait 5-6 weeks. Why not call your doctor or surgeon?
