I’m curious how long it takes for the incisions to heal? And more specifically, how long until we can swim?

Man I hope my program allows at 1-2 weeks, my surgery will be July and I’d love to be able to go to the pool during my time off work.

I’ve wondered about keeping the incisions dry with waterproof bandages

I can’t remember the exact one, but there is a nexcare bandage that is designed for surgical incisions and stays on for a week and is totally waterproof. I used one after another surgery to go in the pool and it worked great. The only downside is it was like $20 per bandage.

My surgeon said swimming was fine 1 and 1/2 week after surgery
