Depends: At one month your scar is healed. You should start activity slowly so you don't over do it.

Gradual increase: Of activities. Heavy lifting is the most problematic. Walking is usually well tolerated. I bet your obgyn has an instruction sheet and knows all that was required for your surgery and any unusual risk. Ask?
