Hi i just had a vitrectomy a few weeks ago. will this procedure prevent me from lifting weights and working out?

Slow down: You probably had a vitrectomy for bleeding in the vitreous (perhaps from diabetes?). The procedure itself does not prevent your doing a workout but the underlying process that caused the need for vitrectomy may still be present and that is the limiting factor. Ask your retinal surgeon.
