Swimming Pools??????
I was wondering if anyone knew the reason that on my discharge paperwork it states no tubs, or swimming pools for 4-6 weeks post-op. Does anyone know the reason for this? I have spent the last two and a half months getting are new pool up and running for the kids, now they are all upset because I can't go in with them until almost the end of July. I was just wondering what the reason for this was. I kept forgetting to ask the doctor when I was at the office.

cause you got holes in you....they may seem closed....but they go all the way inside...
Had the same issue, its was over 100 here almost everyday pos-op it seemed. W ehvae a nice big pool and we can't use it. I was cleared to use it at 4 weeks adn we use it everyday now. you be fine, it goes by fast and is a small price to pay. you give up 4-6 weeks BUT will gain many years on the backside of WLS to use the pool.
