I heard that you shouldn't swim for at least 6 weeks, but ask your doctor

I am a mermaid, I had to wait 3 weeks b4 I could get back in the Water, but yes, call the office.

I had the same time frame on vacation, had surgery 1 mo. prior to vacation. I hope u will have access to a kitchen. I was just coming off puréed foods but other than that I was GOOD.

Hi I live in Florida and my doctor said no swimming or hot tubs for 6 weeks. I just went to Ohio for 3 days and it was tough. I had to buy Protein Drinks cottage cheese string cheese and yogurt at the grocery store that i kept in a fridge and ate an egg for Breakfast. I forgot to take my omeprazole when I was gone too. I'm 4 weeks post op today. plan accordingly. Other then that I did fine. What part of Florida are you coming to? If you are in the Ft. Myers area I will meet up with you! :)

I just had my one week follow up today and was told I can't swim for a month until my incision is completely healed. I'm dying to get back in the pool, but I don't want my incision to have any problems.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
