How long should I wait until I can go in the pool? Really love swimming but not sure when it’s ok to be submerged in water

My surgeon recommended no swimming until all the scabs came off all of the incisions. Basically, waiting until they were well healed and there was no risk of infection. But check with your surgeon to be sure; always follow their recommendations for you.

Ok thank you

My discharge paperwork specifically says no submerging in water for 3 weeks. After 3 weeks with surgeons ok. Ive been wanting to go out and ride my jetski and of course i sometimes fall off my jetski and the water is not the cleanest so i am waiting a couple months to be on the safe side

My doctor said 3 weeks as well as long as everything has healed nicely.

I was also told it was OK once the scabs were all off my incisions. That was at about four weeks out for me.

I believe it was around a month for me. But best to follow your surgeon.

I think it's like a month. Most specifically wait until after the incisions are completely healed.

I think it was around 3 weeks for me... I had that clear gel over my incisions, so I was waterproof! At least that's what the doctor used to tell me. ? My surgery was in mid-August, and I know I got in the pool one more time before it closed down for the season, which would have been around Labor day or the week after.

I was told 4 weeks. But really, ask your surgery center, that's what they're there for! I have really been enjoying swimming laps for exercise when I'm home.
