    Hi girls,

    I’m literally desperate to go swimming today and everyone I’ve spoken to like my mum dad and boyfriend seem to think it won’t be a problem because your allowed to get them wet? I’ve also got waterproof dressings too.

    What do you think? ?

    In my post op book it says I can’t swim for 6 weeks, but I havent got any waterproof dressings on. Did your nurse or anyone say anything about getting them wet? I know I’m not aloud to bath just yet either only shower X

    I’m nearly 11 weeks post op – At your 6 weeks post op assessment with the nurse if she’s happy with your progress the nurse will give you the go ahead to resume your regular routine for example go swimming , going to the gym
