HI Everyone,
Hope someone can help me with this. I am planning on joining the health club here in Morrilton and they offer water exercise for people like me who have leg problems.
My question is how long after surg. do u have to wate to be able to get into a swimming pool? I am 3 weeks out and I had the open RNY.

Dr. Fuller told me that I have to wait until all incisions are 100% closed in order to swim.

Yep, 100% closed. It's better to be safe than sorry. I'd probably wait a month, at least.
