Welcome to the forum dmcnair,

I can tell you after surgery the float tube is more comfortable than before the surgery. Once you heal up the pain of moving around is gone. Ask away and I will answer what I can.

How many weeks after surgery did you wait to use your tube? Is it a float tube or pontoon, framed or frameless?

It was three months before I went back out on the tube.

I only had a Cumberland at that time. As part of my therapy I would practice putting on and taking off my fins from a chair. I would practice putting my tube on with the back straps over my shoulders and walk around the back yard with the tube empty and progressed with more ane more weight.

Here is a link to a post I did after surgery.

It took me two months to put on shoes that were not slip ons by myself.
