swimming post surgery

[Ru8yred]

hello ! I had my surgery on the 14th Sep, I have 6/7 incision wounds which are healing nicely.

The hospital didn’t advise me on when I can swim again, was anyone told when they could ? Thank you ! xx

Hi! I was told no water (bath/pool) for at least 2 weeks and no strenuous exercise for 6-8 weeks. So I guess a swim would be fine after 2 weeks as long as you take it super easy.

I had my surgery on the 17.09.24 and was advised not to swim until winds have totally healed. Your situation may be different to mine so it may be with giving the ward you were sent to a call - mine has been most helpful with general advice.

Glad things are going well for you.
