Doc Says I Can't Lift Anything Heavy Even After 4 Weeks?

[KenRyan]

I saw my surgeon for my 4-week followup (from plication surgery) and he said I STILL have to continue to avoid lifting anything more than 10 pounds. He originally said this restriction would apply for 4 weeks. But he has now extended that to 6 weeks. He didn't even give a reason for the extension.

What experiences have others who had plication surgery had? Does this sound excessive to you?

Thanks!
