av graft in upper arm

[Billsfa]

can I submerge my graft in hot tub?

[Bassetmommer NKF Ambassador]

depends on when on had it done. The surgeon is the one to ask.

[Billsfa in reply to Bassetmommer]

I had it done a month ago.

If it's all healed then yes. I have one in my upper left arm and once it was all healed I took a hot bath cause I needed to soak my back. If the needle holes are bleeding, thanks blood thinner, then I don't put my arm in the water.

It depends if your graft area is healed or not. Best thing always is to check with your doctor/surgeon first.
