I was just told today by my surgeon 10 days post op you should be fine. HOWEVER; I really do recommend you give your surgeon a call and ask him.

Yep, you should ask your surgeon. We have no way of knowing how your incisions were closed and how much healing has taken place.

Have you been cleared to take a bath? If so I'm sure it's fine. I have not been banded yet but I have had two c-secions and as soon as my steri-strips fell off I was good to go.

My doctor says 2 weeks but you need to speak to YOUR doctor. I've had to get out of the pool at my gym becuase a child vomited in the water. Would you want that touching your incisions?

My surgeon told me 2 weeks only if my tape came off can I go back to water aerobics can't wait goi

Going to see if next week he will let me walk the track to hot to be outside.

My dr said I could swim or bathe 48 hrs after surgery so you may want to give the office a call
