About 2 months.
It has to heal, which is short time for the normal micro-surgery, you have to go to rehab to lay the good foundation for the processes for redeveloping the muscles, then you actually have to build up the bowling specific muscles.
Muscles not being used deteriorate rapidly.
Mine was relatively minor and I was younger, 10 years ago.
It depends on how serious, detailed, complex the surgery is and how good your muscles are.
The younger and the stronger you are (without being muscle bound), the quicker it will/can go.
I found that you and the therapist (if he/she is good) are the best judges of how soon you can return. The orthopedist will let you know the basis for the judgement.
