Wes said that it wasn't until june of this year before his knee really started to feel right again. I can tell you that he wore his brace and did his exercises religiously. That's the key to success of the operation. Don't overdue it and start taxing the knee before it is healed but do the rehab and you'll be alright.
I had full reconstuctive knee surgery 18 years ago. This was well before all this new technology they have today. Back then it was about 6 weeks before I was able to have full motion of my knee. Still longer with rehab. It was about a year before I was confident enough to be active again. Now almost twenty years later my knee is great.
