How Long Does It Take To Recover From Bunion Operation And Is There Any Limitation On Using The Toe For Sports?

Hello, I am 21, male, and regularly exercise (mainly rock climbing, running, hiking, cycling). I have a bunion forming on my left foot, currently it does not hurt and there is no major deformation however my GP has referred me to a specialist. I would like to know how long recovery form operation usually takes, and to what extent I am limited from using the foot for sports after recovery Thank you
