Hottub 3 weeks after surgery?



Recommended Posts

Any reason why I wouldn't be able to take a dip in the hottub? I know when I was released from the hospital it was showers only but I'm 3 weeks post op, my stitched areas on my tummy are healed- I can go in right? Hopefully someone answers this quick cuz I really want to go in right now!

I'm still pre-op but another board said as long as the incisions are healed completely it's ok, especially if it's not a public pool or hot tub. personally i wouldn't risk it.

even if it's your own personal hottub? What's the risk- incision infection?

My surgeon and NP said NO baths, hot tubs, or pools, for 6 weeks.

Mine said no baths for 2 weeks. Each MD is different, I'd check with their office to be sure.

I asked my surgeon and he gave me the ok for the hot tub. He said as long as incisions are closed and healed.

Enjoy the bubbles!

Once the incision has healed you should be OK, but I went in a hot tub when I was about 4 weeks post-op and it made me a lot more lite headed than normal so be very careful, may be stay in less then normal and get out and see how you feel.

Good Luck!

I was told as soon as the scabs are completely gone. I can't wait, maybe one more week :)

Just figured if follow up- I saw my surgeon today and he said yes to hottubs. He looked at my incision areas and said I'm fine for soaking. I am 4 weeks post op as of tomorrow.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
