Summer is here! It’s the season where the weather is warming up really nicely, and the pool looks so inviting – I hear you!

However, if you recently had a bariatric procedure, we suggest that you avoid swimming in your own pool or a family pool for 2 weeks, and stay away from a public pool or spa for 4 weeks.

We also suggest you to avoid using the bathtub for at least 7 days post-op. These safety measures will help avoid any possible infections to the lap sites.

If you have any questions please reach out to the team here at WLSA, we are all here to help and support each and every one of our #WeightLossWarriors.
