As long as youve been declared healed from YOUR Dr then swimming should not pose a problem.

Have fun!

I had LAVH, I had a holiday at six weeks and my dr said no swiming as I wasn't healed fully yet. If you know you are healed it should be fine.

My doc okayed swimming for me right away. (Okay, so at first I just walked in the pool!) By my fifth week I was gently swimming. It actually felt good to get in the water and relieve some of the gravity pressure from my belly. The only other thing he told me to do, was to wash my scar afterward to prevent germs. I am now in my 7th week postop and still go swimming. My scar is healing very well and I never had any problems.
