Re: Illiac Artery Endofibrosis - I've got it. [jflorance]
I'm surprised they're doing a midline incision. I had a midline because I had both my right and left arteries bypassed, but I remember the doctor originally wanted to do it as two separate surgeries because of the extra risk associated with a midline incision. But, other than that, I have no idea. I was off work for 6 weeks. I think I was really sore from the incision for a couple weeks. I was pretty tired the whole time I was off work, though. If you're driving alone, that might be an issue. Also, my doctor had me on a strict "no sitting for longer than an hour" plan for a couple of months.

Definitely be conservative with running. Give it a chance to heal. You don't want to add extra trauma and the potential for scar tissue development that will undo the positive effects of the surgery. You really don't want to screw this up.
