Michele 0 Posted July 8, 2012 When can we start swimming in the lake and swimming pools after surgery? My dr said 4 weeks after surgery to make sure the incisions are completely healed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So0n2bSliM 41 Posted July 8, 2012 That's what I'm doing. I went to a bday swim party and... Everyone was swimming. I had to make it very clear that I will dangle my feet in but they can't throw me in. It sucked I felt like a party pooper Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beachbum 70 Posted July 8, 2012 I was two weeks. Dr advised not to stay in for two long since your skintissue soften and can mess with incisions. I love getting in the pool with my kids! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jen in SoCal 189 Posted July 8, 2012 I was told once all the skin glue came off. It took almost 4 weeks. If you have steri-strips I think they want you to wait until they all fall off too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
