Getting reimplanted in October (C1 recipient). At the pre op appointment the surgeon mentioned several restrictions, including not lifting things over 25 lbs after surgery. However, I neglected to ask how long that restriction is in place and I do have a toddler who will be 18 months at that time. Of course I’ll check with him, but does anyone have any insights on what I should expect?

I am scheduled for my AB revision surgery on October 5th. The audiologist I’m working with has only done a few revisions but has said all of the people she has worked with have been at or better than baseline after 3 months.

I’m curious what others experiences have been? I work in strategic sourcing and, while im covered under FMLA, I do need to return when the 3 months is up and I would like to be reasonably confident that I can return at 100%
