Call and ask the doc. My glue was gone in 10 days. I was told when the glue was all gone, I could swim, take a bath, and sit in a hot tub. ~Mandy

I was banded on 1/31. Spent yesterday alternating between the hot tub and sauna. Felt great except I wish that I would have taken a shower afterward. Last night I itched a lot in the area where they shaved me. I think the cause was the chlorine.

My doc told me 2 weeks for a bath/hot tub. Call the doctor's office as they will know what they prefer. Every doc is different.

I can feel your pain. I am one week post op, and heve not been in my spa for 14 days already (-30C too cold to tub). I am sure that it would do wonders for the gas pain I still have.

My Dr. said 2 weeks post op before bath tubs/hottubs.
