Author Topic: Hot Tubbing After Surgery (Read 2218 times)

Quick question: I had laparoscopic abdominal surgery last Wednesday. I was wondering how long I need to stay out of my poor, lonely, hot tub. I miss it as much as it misses me�maybe even more.

Anyone have any ideas? I was told no shower for four days. No soap residue for a week or so. Tomorrow is a week. No stitches, just Steri-Strips and they are to come off tomorrow.

Thanks!

I don't believe we have any licensed doctors here, qualified to answer your question.

My doctor did tell me 4 weeks after back surgery.

I am an RN, I would recommend waiting until your incisions are completely healed, likely at least 2-3 weeks..hot water trapped in a small dark hole -like laprascopic ports, has a very high likelihood of causing infection....serious infection.
