Swimming

[speedydvr 25]

How long before I should start swimming...my doctor released me for "light" excerise on day one but didn't say whether or not swimming was allowed... And by swimming I really mean more like senior Water aerobics and floating... Lol

Once incisions are healed...maybe 2 weeks.

That's what I figured too and my doctor called me back to confirm that as long as they aren't open im fine to do so... Doggie paddle, not Michael Phelps it... Lol

I wasn't allowed to swim/be submerged under Water for 6 weeks after my surgery.

I was told no swimming for at least 3 weeks. This will allow incisions to close thoroughly.

Same a SylviaC from my doc

Same here. I was told 6 weeks unless all my incisions were healed then I could swim at 4 weeks.

Was told 3 weeks. The important thin is that everything is healed and sealed so you don't have wound issues.
