Two guys in our Quota Group who have recently had the anterior (front side) approach. One was playing golf 6 weeks later and the other guy who lives off the 2nd tee box came out this morning as our group was teeing off on the 2nd hole and said he was going to see the doctor this week to get clearance to start playing golf again.
This Thursday will be 5 weeks since he had the procedure.
On the flip side play with another guy who had the posterior (rear side) approach and he was out a few months before being able to play golf. Front side entry seems to be much less invasive and therefore a shorter recovery time.
