Personally, I'd believe that the doctors have opinions without facts and the manufacturers have CYA statements. On a more useful note, most people are delayed more by the need to heal from the surgery enough to carry the tanks than by osteointegration or similar ADR-specific concerns. Basically, if you can carry the tank to the water comfortably, odds are pretty good that you can dive without problems.
