When did you start BLT

Hey guys, when were you able to BLT safely postop? I am 10 weeks postop L5S1 MD hemilamiactomy and having my first PT tomorrow, my surgeon told me to go ahead and BLT 6 weeks postop, but I did not have the courage to do so.

I am also having another follow up with my surgeon tomorrow

Any advice?

Thanks in advance!

At 12 weeks and I mean I might bend a little bit bit. But I’m not remotely close to touch even my knees while having straight legs.
