Fucking hell, either he got some really shitty surgeons, or he is not taking doctors advice..I do know after most surgeries people begin rehabbing pretty quickly, but it's a slow process, I have a friend who went through two major back surgeries and an extensive rehab, but he couldn't go into a normal regimented bodybuilding type of training until a year or so post surgery. I highly doubt he has bad medical team due to the fact I think he has insurance through his employment with the police force, and they tend to have a good medical plan.
