It depends on what type of surgery you will be having. If it involves opening the abdomen, it will be 4-6 weeks. If they plan on placing a stent and pulling out the stone, you may only be healing for a week or two.
Dear kidney stone patient, Your surgeon is the best one to answer that question. But depends on the kind of exercise and the extent of the surgery. Always best to start gently! Good luck Dr. B
Start walking immediately. You can start Hydrotherapy exercises immediately.
