Hola.. I was just wondering how long you have to wait to go SWIMMING! I know I had a paper around here somewhere about "not swimming for now", but I can't seem to find it! I REALLY want to go to the beach tomorrow but I just want to be on the safe side! Either way I'll definately go to the beach because I am currently a shade of white that should be illegal! hehe... pretty pastyyy... but anyways... I'd appreciate whatever you guys can tell me! Thanks!

hey there! i got my surgery on may 12th and when i got my staples out my doctor said i could go swimming if i wanted to! he just said don't do laps or anything. as long as you are taking it easy at the beach you should be fine!

My doc said I could get back in the water as soon as my stitches were out and my incision was all healed up. I am 2 months post-op and I am doing fine in the water. I swim 10-15 laps everyday. I think it depends on your doc and what he wants for you. I'd call and ask him if I were you! Hope this helps. =]]
