Does anyone know why after surgery you are not allowed to get into a bath tub or go swimming for 6 weeks?

    My doctor said I could go swimming in a pool just not the lake.  But I am still apprehensive about it so I am waiting a little longer.

    I called the doc yesterday and they said 6-8 weeks no swimming, no bath.  She said just cause the outside is healed does not mean the inside is completely healed yet, so I have to wait 2-3 more weeks and being in Florida this is killing me not to go swimming in summer time, but I am better safe than sorry
