Hi Liz, just wanted to ask you how long you waited following your op before you went swimming. I am wanting to go swimming two weeks following my op.
Hi Neeta in my personal experience/opinion 2 weeks is way too early to swim as the wounds are just too new to be going in the pool and could easily become infected in the very early stages.... as potentially your bathing in "other peoples germs " with brand new wounds, id say weeks 4-6 for swimming to give your wounds a chance to fully heal and internally too, but only after clearance from your bariatric team or gp )
We have also just taken delivery of an exercise bike/cross trainer, but wont be going on this for about four weeks until I am fully healed inside.
just build up gradually on these a little at a time id say start with short distances on the bike, but preferably walking to begin with.
Thanks and well done on your weight loss, you look amazing.
