SandyM 1,956 Posted February 4, 2014 Speak with your surgeon about this. It's going to depend on your healing. you don't want to introduce any germs into your healing wounds. 1 lisacaron reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
B-52 7,113 Posted February 4, 2014 What type of surgery??? I'm a bander...I was released to "Soak" 1 week after surgery...that included swimming and the whirlpool... BUT...as already mentioned...why not ask your Dr.? A simple phone call will work... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alicesandra 98 Posted February 4, 2014 (edited) As others have said, talk to your surgeon. I had my surgery July 24th (2012), and was allowed to swim as long as I was very careful by mid August. I did use something that floated to help keep myself up right when I was out deeper. Edited February 4, 2014 by alicesandra Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
