  • My doctor said 2 weeks. I would'nt want to risk infection (you may think you're healed but who knows) at a public pool. Yes it's only two days but I would wait the two days. Highly recommend Water

  • I had surgery June 4th and went to lake over weekend..even rode on the sea doo!

Highly recommend Water proof MP3 player. I use it for both lap swimming and water aerobics (not during classes).

My doctor had me wait a full month before I could go swimming. I would contact my doctor if I was you before you go swimming because each doctor does surgery in there own way and use different methods to close you up.

My doc said 6 weeks or until all in idioms are healed. I was healed at 2 weeks but waited until 3 weeks just to be safe... It was hard because everyone else was out enjoying the pool each day but I wanted to make sure I was healed. Haven't had any problems.

My surgeon said I needed to wait 2.5 to 3 weeks and that incisions needed to be completely healed :). Maybe it's been a blessing that my surgery was canceled on 6/15 as I've been out in my pool every day sice :). Not sure when I'll have a new date, so I'm looking at the positives :)

I had my band put in on 6/5 and he said I can start swimming today yay since it's 102 here in Louisiana

I was back in the pool at 2 weeks post op. Am now three weeks and am swimming almost every day. Everything healed up well and the water feels great.

My doc said no swimming or baths for a month
