When Can I Go Swimming? Almost 4 Weeks Post Op

[HadToDoIt40 34]

It's supposed to hit 92' today and it's ALREADY warm. I would LOVE to get out the house and hit the pool but I am only almost 4 weeks out and not sure if it is a good idea?

As soon as your incisions are closed. My doctor released me and I started back in the Water at two weeks which I think was too soon and I had a small infection. I would think at four to six weeks you should be good.

I went to the doc for me 3 week check up and he told me I had to wait 1 more week to swim. As long as all your incisions are healed with no scabs or openings, you should be ok

I still have a few scabs ...so I think I'll wait...until next week. Thanks for the info!

My doc just gave me clearance to swim and I'm at six weeks. Check with your doc and see what he/she says.
