Had my appendix taken out on Sept 4th

Surgeon says no lifting more than 15 lbs for a month. Part of me believes drs say this to protect their asses. For those who had it done, how long did you wait before getting back to the tree work? Last thing I want is a hernia but I'll be bored silly if I sit around doing nothing for a month.

I had mine out 2 years ago. It was right at the beginning of the spring busy season. I waited about 10 days and then climbed an easy prune job. The next day I wish I had waited. Give yourself about 3 weeks and then take it slow. You might feel like your ready to go, but you won't when you wake up the next morning.
