Inner Surfer Girl 12,015 Posted July 31, 2014 My surgeon said. 10 days. I think it depends on how well the incisions have healed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Forsythia 882 Posted August 1, 2014 I was cleared for swimming and weight lifting after 6 weeks. Mentally it took me another four or so to actually work up the nerve to use the pool at the gym. LOL. Now I have all these accessories. Like a kickboard and these swimming paddles for my hands. 1 LeanerLena5426 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
