My surgeon doesn't want any swimming in public pools or spas until 6 weeks post op. Their take on it is that no matter how clean they say a public pool may be - it could have all sorts of bugs that could get into your port and create havoc.
Hi all. I was banded 20th april - also in Australia. Liquid only diet for first week, then mushy food for 1 - 2 weeks. Too scared to deviate from the instructions!! Does anyone know when it is safe to have a full shower, I have a little tape over the incisions and I think they are glued.
