Call and ask the doc. My glue was gone in 10 days. I was told when the glue was all gone, I could swim, take a bath, and sit in a hot tub. ~Mandy

I was banded on 1/31. Spent yesterday alternating between the hot tub and sauna. Felt great except I wish that I would have taken a shower afterward. Last night I itched a lot in the area where they shaved me. I think the cause was the chlorine.

My doc told me 2 weeks for a bath/hot tub. Call the doctor's office as they will know what they prefer. Every doc is different.

I can feel your pain. I am one week post op, and heve not been in my spa for 14 days already (-30C too cold to tub). I am sure that it would do wonders for the gas pain I still have.

My Dr. said 2 weeks post op before bath tubs/hottubs.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
