From his official site

the surgery went well as expected, Dave started rehab before he left the hospital mid-week and has now gone home to continue rehab.

at this point were not going to estimate any return date or month, will just see how things go over the next few weeks, most likely wont be back for several months to wrestle, could be back earlier on Raw just not in any matches

.

Does this mean he will be walking around like randy orton did -just popping up everywere

Update 2

Dave's spending the week at home resting.
He'll be able to start training his legs in 6 weeks

batista is going to be HUUUGE when he returns

That would be cool, but I hope he doesn't win it. I want to see his feud with Randy Orton to continue.

Please God no. I would so hate this. If he MUST be in the title match at Mania just let him win the Elimination Chamber in Febuary.... would be retarded to pull the same stunt 2 years in a row.

The fact that #30 has won the last two Rumbles already would make it even worse. It'd be pretty silly to have #30 win three in a row, after going winless for the first 20 years.

No, you got it all wrong. The monday before Wrestlemania 25 Batista suddenly appears on Raw and says: "That's my title, and this sunday..."

And the Wrestlemania match will be Cena VS Batista. What a buildup! What a match!

[gaff]

Baista will be lucky to be back for Baclash!

I don't understand why anyone could think that big lazy oaf would have the hunger desire and determination to get back ASAP

He is no John Cena, he loves the business and what he does, big Dave just goes through the motions SLOWLY

[The Peoples Elbow]

I hope I only have to see him on SVR2009...at least for a while. Batista off of my TV = extreme happiness.

[Mr Captain Falcon]

Batista needs to come back in a few months with hair, more jacked than ever, and cost John Cena the title. Randy Orton and Batista together again with their new Evolution group.

[Dave at the Movies]

Batista is not suppose to come back till about June. Unless WWE is trying to work the internet again I doubt he will be at the Rumble.

I expect HHH or someone like that to win the Rumble. Although it would be awesome if HBK won but it looks like they are setting up a JBL VS HBK for Wrestlemania.

[Perpetual Nirvana]

Batista not really injured? We have discovered the 'injury' suffered by Batista is in fact fake, and designed to keep him out of the limelight while he is retooled with a brand new gimmick. We have seen designs for the new character and can reveal exclusively it will be a high school basketball coach from Oakland. Expect the new character to debut next month.

[BitterAF]

This would be awful is he came back. Him walking around till summer time not even wrestling. I can barley stand him wrestling as is, but walking around and just talking for no reason would be even worse.
