Default ♥ Two questions for the "professional" RNYers ♥

1. How long should I wait to go swimming? I'm 3 1/2 weeks post op, and my incisions are still healing.

2. I'm a volunteer EMT, and I have to lift patients. I'm on a 6 week leave so far from the squad. Do you think that's enough? I'm so paranoid that I'll get a hernia. I'm going to talk with my doc on July 30th to see what he says. I just want all your opinions b/c I spoke with someone here on TT who is also an EMT and he waited 3-4 months.



FYI: By "professional" I meant anyone out of surgery longer than me and/or has dealt with this. LOL
