Post op activities - - swimming

[2010onmyweigh 0]

I am 2 wks post op today. I am going to call my dr today and see if its ok that i swim. I want to be more active and walking is just so boring. I have a 4 yr old and he is begging me to take him to the pool. All my incisions have healed and i feel fabulous.

Anyone around my post op and gone swimming? Anyone know the "rules" on this? Please share!!

Thanks for your reply, i just called the bariatric coordinator - which i am not too fond of - and she said 6 wks. So six wks it is. Oh well.

the surgical people were the ones that told me 4wks. pretty standard--it was the same thing with my c-section!

My doc said 2 weeks as long as incisions were healed.
