Swimming 2

[michelleb]

There is a post here about swimming that shows about 2pages of input/comments but I cannot access the input in this post. I am really interested as I am/was a swimmer and a swim coach.
If anyone can see the original post please copy and paste it and mail it to me or maybe it's archived? And I just don't know how to access it?

Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Michelle

Sorry, I haven't found that thread. But I was sleeved a year ago, and I swim all of the time without issue. Not really sure why there would be an issue. I wasn't warned by my doctor about it, and like I said I've been swimming on numerous occasions with no problem.
As with any surgery, you'll want to make sure that you are fully healed prior to swimming so as to not get the stitches wet, but other than that you should be good.

My Dr. just said no swimming or hot tubs for two weeks after surgery while you heal.

Thanks for the responses. It's not that I'm concerned about the swimming, I was just curious what was in the thread. being a swimmer it just caught my interest.

Thanks again
Michelle
