I was reading over my pre-op instructions and they say after surgery I will be limited to lifting 20 pounds for two weeks. That sure seems like a lot less restriction than what other guys are talking about here on the forum. In one post I read 5 pounds for 30 days. So what restrictions did your Doc put on after your procedure? Honestly would any of you been comfortable lifting 20 pounds after two weeks? I bet the answer is no. Maybe it has to do with how they do the surgery - my doctor uses the pubic rather than scrotal incision.
