How long after Lap Band surgery until we can.....

[lovesMaui]

go swimming in a pool? I live in So. Calif. and it's hot. I am anxious to go in the pool but I had my surgery just 10 days ago. Is that long enough? No doctor discussed this with me.

Okay what were you guys really thinking I was asking? Lol

I was told at least 3 weeks

I was told at least 3 weeks

Thank you Dwayne! No one ever told me. I was thinking about emailing the doctor but I knew someone on here would know the answer! I appreciate your help. So about the time I go off liquids, I can swim. I'm looking forward to both!

hang in there. solid foods wasnt as great as i thought they were gonna be after over a month on liquids

Really Dwanye? Can you tell me why not? I just want to chew something so bad. Also, it's hot and I'm eating soup, which isn't satisfying to me at all. I never was a soup person, especially in the summer.

If the incision is healed, I would venture into clean water....No lakes, rivers....Make sure that you use suncreen on those scars or they will turn darker than your skin.

Thank you Kim and Valleygirl!

Kim you make me smile because there's no way my scars will be exposed to the sun. What I mean is, I'm not showing off my stomach girlfriend! You, on the other hand, look fabulous in your bikini!!! Congratulations!

I think more then anything on Liquids i was missing the feeling of fullness. When a person can't have something they think they are missing it.

Dwayne, I was wondering why solids weren't as great as you thought they would be after a over month on liquids? Also why over a month, isn't it 21 days on liquids?
