I just got the lap band on wed. And I'm going on vacation on the 10th to a waterpark. I sure would like to swim!! I see the dr on the 6th I hope I get a thumbs up

I was told no swimming/baths for six weeks. Your incisions need to fully heal or you risk serious infection.

I was told 2 weeks. I had been doing an hour of swimming a day for 16 months prior to surgery though so it was'nt a shock to my system.

I went to the beach for 3 weeks less than a month after my banding. I had no restriction- and he even put off my first fill until I got home

Ugh yeah the day I got home from the hospital my dad opened our pool!! Its been in the high 80s all week and I've been sitting in my bedroom looking at our nice, clean, cool, refreshing pool. He spent all his time opening the pool he didn't have time to put in the window air conditioners we have. Awesome

Haha!! The 80's huh? It is 80 degrees at 5AM here! We have a record high June in the works in Houton! Already hit triple digits!
