My doctors said not for 2 full weeks... But everyone doctors are different

My surgeon tells everyone to wait till their incisions have fully healed.

Yeah. I was rhinking of the insicions myself since pool water does have chlorine. Better be safe than sorry. I'll pack and picnic for the kids and take piks. That'll be just as fun. :)

Just got back from my one week post- op appt with my surgeon and he said by next week I can go in my pool :) he also said I can ride my bike now :)

Wow my doc told me a month to make sure everything is healed. Swimming is one thing I was looking forward to and it will be the end of July before I can get in. Just amazing how all docs have different restrictions.

My doctor said 4-6 weeks due to all the germies in the water. He said there is not enough chlorine in the world to kill all the e choli etc.

I will wait another week . My incisions are looking good and it's my pool so i know it's clean :) I wouldn't go in a public pool at this point!
