I was told no soaking or swimming until wounds completely heal...

I was able to swim at 7 days post op. I had no stitches...I had Dermabond.

I was told 3 weeks...I have that weird skin glue. It's 90+ degrees in NYC clear skies...I wish I can go to the beach!!! :(

I was told 6 weeks no soaking or swimming. But if you have the ok- go for it! Water is a great resistance and work out. :)
