Did anyone go to the gym and/or start wearing a baseball cap 10 days after an FUE?

Did anyone here ever do that and experience some sort of bad effects if you did that? Just wondering.
I read so many different views on this and the clinics also give different views.

My clinic told me 7 days post you can start wearing a cap.

14 days post you can start working out.

Then other ones online about the same things give different replies and say it can still damage the hair that has been put in if you do one of these 2 things too soon. Any thoughts to this?

I'm sure it's absolutely fine, but I would say just wait the two full weeks, it's not going to affect your physique at all is it at the end of the day and its best to be extra cautious. 2 or 3 weeks out of the gym will make no difference to your life overall, but (however unlikely it might be) negatively affecting your results will. I'll probably wait 2 full weeks when I have my HT and then do two weeks of low volume, low intensity training after that before lifting heavy or go back to my usual routine again.

Yes I don't think it's that bad - For sure the first week but after 14 days most are confident to say you can go back right away - but I do see a few that make me nervous I might ruin it the HT work done

I was in the gym on day 8, just as soon as my scabs were mostly gone. I didn't do any cardio, just weights. Light sweating. I even had a single suture in my donor area. No problem!

I didn’t go to the gym until 14 days, but I did ride a bike and walked around with a hat at 7 days.

Came back after 4 weeks for both heavy lifting and cardio

I went back to the gym on day 10, wearing a hat. I probably wore the hat for the first couple of sessions, but fortunately my gym looks like a cool dark cave so I didn't wear the hat much after day 14...except everywhere other than the gym, ha.

You can consult your doctor but 2 weeks out shouldn't be an issue.  Start slow the first couple trips and build up to your previous routine.  Just a thought.

I used hair transplant as an excuse 🙂  to relax and chill out for a month before hitting the gym again. I  did start mild jogging and biking in 2 weeks and no problem at all. As people have said just wait for 2 weeks, gym will probably still be there.
