When were you told you could take a bath or get in a jacuzzi?

Ooh, good question. Haven't asked my dr. that one. Will ask on next visit, waiting for answers here as well.

I was told about 4 weeks out. After the incisions are healed.

It is not quite the same but I was given clearance to use the outdoor (public) pool at 2 weeks.

I was cleared for the pool or immersion in water when my incisions healed after about four weeks.

3-4 weeks (after incisions fully healed) for baths and swimming. 6 weeks for hot tubs & jucuzzis due to high heat could make you woozy while you adjust to your new weight/body.

Bath is once all the wounds have healed. Jacuzzi I wanted a while - maybe 3 months since the chemicals aer strong and might still get into the wounds. Just to be safe...

8 weeks post-op before swimming or hot tub.

I was told anywhere from 4 to 6 weeks. Giving time for incisions to heal properly. I also had the surgical glue on my wounds instead of staples to reduce scaring. So for the few weeks I had to take showers and put tape and plastic over the wounds to not get them wet.

Thanks for the quick responses. I'm dying to get into my jacuzzi tub with these cold nights.

I'm so jealous you've got a Jacuzzi to look forward to!!! That would be heavenly. When I take a bath my tummy and chest are exposed, so I can't get that full immersion. Hopefully after a few months I'll be able to sink my skinny body in my bath.

You know its been a year for me and I have yet to actually sit in a normal tub and just take a bath. I use to hate not being able to submerge in the water without it either A., overflowing out of the tub onto the floor, or B. when I got to big to even fit in a tub. I may try it one day just to see how it feel now almost 336lbs lighter than I was 17/18 months ago.

My instructions were no soaking of incisions for atleast six weeks ????
