Thanks to you both. I had 4 weeks in my mind but thought like you, CG: can't hurt if I don't get incisions wet. I'm headed that way now! Yay!!!

that sounds amazing right now.. ahhhhhh

I had no bathing or swimming restrictions after day one. Best to check with your dr.

I was week three, and I specifically wrote and asked my nurses. They said go, enjoy.
