Senior Member Quiff01 Posted June 27, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted June 27, 2013 Howdy, I'm booked in with hakan doganay for 2000 grafts in October, I play football (soccer) semi pro and was wondering how long I should avoid exercise and playing etc? Obviously I don't want to leave to leave it too long Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member james84 Posted June 27, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted June 27, 2013 The grafts are firmly in place after day 9, cant remember which Doc posted it pal but there is a video on the forum somewhere explaining this. If it was me i would wait at least a month if not longer before playing football, as you need to treat your grafts like gold. And i wouldn't risk it heading a ball! You could always fake injury if you don't want your teammates to know, a hamstring injury can last up to a month;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member agenteye Posted June 28, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted June 28, 2013 Muddy- How much time do you have in between your procedure and starting back to practice/play?? As James mentioned.......you would need about 9 days to make sure your grafts are secure, but even at that, you're supposed to take it easy for a bit. Also, are you having strip or FUE done for your procedure, as that will most likely affect your healing time a bit as well?! I would talk to your physician and see what his individual post-op care instructions are, as his advice will best determine when you can get back to your regular routine. 4737 FUT with Dr. Rahal on 11/16/2012 Daily regimen: 1/4 Proscar (1.25 mg Finasteride), Rogaine Foam (twice daily), 1000 mcg Biotin, 1 combo Vitamin D/Calcium/Magnesium, 1500 mg Glocosamine, 750 mg MSM, 1200 mg Fish Oil, 2000 mg Vitamin C, Super B-Complex, 400 I.U Vitamin E.
