Hi, I had my second excision with primary closure surgery a week and a half ago. I also had a drain this time too. Although I am healing fine, and the surgeon thinks it’s a success I am worried that if when I return to exercise about squats. I just wondered if anyone can tell me how long they waited after the surgery to to do them? 

I have been told not to do anything for another 5 weeks but am looking forward to getting back to being fit and healthy.
