I am only 10 days post open and my family wants to go swimming. Think it would be safe for me to go? Seems my incisions are closed up but scared to take a chance

Ask you surgeon, but it sounds too soon to me.

I'm 2 weeks and I just asked my dr this on Friday at my post op appt. he told me its fine.

My surgeon said 6 weeks!!!! Let those incisions heal

I was told 4-6 weeks, too. 10 days is too soon I think. You don't want to risk it

I would wait. You do not want to take any chance on infection at all. If the family wants to go and you want to sit on the side and put your feet in, or sit in a chair nearby and read do that. But don't submerse your new scars into the water. Just too soon.
