When can I get in a pool?

My sleeve is set for June 2nd! I'm super excited, but already had summer plans. How long post-op do I have to wait to get in a pool/beach?

it's going to depend on your surgery and surgeon's preference. beach, probably any time. in the Water? for me it was 4 weeks - for your belly, I'd think you could dangle your feet in anytime.

I was cleared to get in the pool once my incisions had healed and closed up completely with no holes. It was about 4 weeks post-op.

Thank you! 4 weeks would work great. I'll make sure to ask my surgeon anyway, but it gives me an idea.

4-6 weeks depending how you heal.
