I'm 7 weeks post op.

When is the earliest release time for those activities?

I went on a cruise at 2 weeks. Went in the salty ocean and pools. My dr said it was fine.

My doctor said 8 weeks.

I resumed acquafit classes at my gym on week 3 post op. Ask your doctor what his/her recommendation is. Mine said as long as the incisions were scabbed over I was fine.

Never!! My microbiology professor called hot tubs "poop stew" every since then I haven't been able to get in one. I would wait until you're completely healed first. There are micro organisms living in that water!

..."poop stew"...

That sounds better than what my wife made for dinner last night.

The older I get the less excited I am about hot tubs or commercial pools -- for all the reasons Elode said.

It's a shame, because aqua aerobics is a great exercise for me.

But I'm leery after getting several UTIs I KNOW came from my exposure in public pools.

I was able 2 weeks post.

It was already cooked by the time I came home from work. I'll have to ask our kids what they did to make her that mad.

Exactly why I side eye the folks who don't shower. My gym has individual shower stalls so there's really no reason. There is no way I am leaving that place without scrubbing all that chlorine and stuff off my body.
