Ask your doc. I thought it was ok but then my doc told me four weeks. Ugh.

Kinda thought that too :( Thanks!

I was cleared for a hot tub pretty quickly -- still waited a bit just to be sure (worrier).....

The nurse emailed me back. She said two weeks minimum as long as incisions are scabbed over. I have glue still on three but the very top one has lost all the glue but healing well.

I had to wait almost 2 mos for Jacuzzi, but I think that was because of the heat. if I was you I would get those Water proof bandaids, they are called nexderm tegaderm. you can find them at your drug store. they are waterproof, seals out dirt and germs and stays on while in wter and the pad won't stick to your incisions. call your doctor for the okay.
