Saunas after surgery

I have a question for those who have had the surgery. Are we allowed to take saunas after the surgery? I don't mean right after, I mean when we are well on the road to recovery? I have a suana in my house becaause i was told by my specilist I needed one for my disease. It works wonders. However, here is my delima, since our tummies are smaller inside, "egg" he is concerned that I can't do it anymore becasue of the fluid intake. Anyone out there find it ok to take a sauna?

 4 weeks post op am up to 2+ liters of fluid...I would check with your dr to makr sure but I would think when you are getting all your fluids in....and right now I just have to go outside or work 5 min in apt and I have a sauna going..lol

from my recollection saunas and steam baths are/were out for several months firstly due to bacteria that a sauna/steambath harbours

...and secondly due to overheating because of the smaller amount of liquid intake for people post-op.

you will not be able to drink all the fluids your body requires to replenish being in a sauna or steambath for at least 4 months or so.

as always check with your surgeon/bariatric team

Thanks for your response. I know about the bacteria and other stuff as I used to sell saunas and service them. I have a sauna in my house so I know it is clean. I was asking what the time frame we can start using saunas after surgery. I already got my answer from the docs which is 3 months as long as we can take fluids in before after and during.
