I have a getaway trip coming up to Galveston. Is it OK to go to the beach and swim in pool 7 weeks post op? Also, is there any uncomfortability at 7 weeks out???

You should definitely ask your surgeon, but if I remember correctly, I was only restricted from bathing and swimming for 4 weeks post-op.

Check with your surgeon, but I was told that once your surgical wounds are fully healed over, you should be good...although I wouldn't go and challenge Michael Phelps to a race just yet!! LOL!!!

Thanks. Surgeon said I can do whatever I want but I don't feel I should. He said I can peel off the surgical glue from incisions if they start peeling but NO WAY could I do that. I'll faint. I have this image that I will come undone and my parts will fall out. Lol...seriously though. I'll probably still have glue 6 months from now. Has anyone pulled their glue off? I'm at end of 3rd week post op. Not sure when incision is completely healed or sealed

I'm 2 weeks post op and I rubbed the loose glue off little at a time after a hot shower. It was driving me crazy

The glue can be taken off between two and three weeks. It is nothing to take it off. As for swimming I was told after 3 weeks you were good to go, butt hen again I was back in the gym running and lifting after three weeks with no issues.

I'm 8 weeks out and my incisions were healed completely from about 3 weeks. I can't imagine it would be an issue. Go and have fun!

I'm in the northeast and its -4 this morning. If you feel you can't do that upcoming beach trip I'll be happy to take your place ????
