Hi! F31, 5'11, 165. I had a Venaseal ablation on my GSV left leg last Friday (a week ago). I had asked my surgeon when I could start lifting again and he had said "tomorrow, it was only one cut".

I thought that was odd as EVERYTHING else, including the paper they sent me home with said 1-2 weeks waiting minimum. My weight lifting is 200lb+ lifts, so I'm anxious what he said was wrong.

My question: when can I get back to weightlifting? I had my week check up and everything looks great. Vein is under 3mm and shrinking.

Can I do light high reps right now? When can I start moving the heavy stuff again? Thank you!
