Hi Shelly, A great big welcome to the Loser's Bench, as well as the PA board, a very active and supportive bunch of folks come here and you are sure to get an answer from someone, as I did not have open RNY I can't say what the protocol is, did you try calling your surgeon's office? Anyway, I sent you a PM, and as a fellow Shader, I welcome you once again! Good wishes on your journey towards healthier living! Laureen

Hi Shelly!

Welcome to a great place for friendship, info and support. I haven't had my surgery yet but I'm curious to the answer of this question too. I LOVE baths and swimming. Sometimes I take several a day.

Hi Shelly, Welcome to the board and also congratulations on you surgery. I had open RNY and was really not allowed anything but a shower until the wound closed up. If you were lap, check and see if you are far enough out to get into a tub. This is just a guess on my part but you would probably be allowed into the pool before a bath. NOW I AM STANDING ON THE BETSY ROSS BRIDGE WAVING TO YOU AND LAUREEN. MAKE SURE YOU WAVE BACK. Jeanne

Welcome to the boards, hope to get to know you better. I believe with most open surgeries it's a minimum of 2 weeks, but probably longer. I would definately call your doc about that question. It's a matter of the wound possibly getting infected which would obviously not be a good thing! Pam
