Hi,
I am wondering for those of you who have had open surgery, how long it was until you could take a bath or swim? I’m at about 10 weeks now but thinking I probably need a little longer? I forgot to ask that one question of my Dr!
Thanks
J

I think the recommendation is 6 weeks but I haven't had a bath for a long time as I always takes showers nowadays. If in doubt I'd phone the surgery and ask, I'm sure your doc or the practice nurse would advise you.
