How long after surgery can I be out in the sun for long periods of time?

Asked By:COski123 in Denver, CO

Planning on doing my surgery this month w/plans to go to a 3 day concert at the beach exactly 2 weeks after. I don't plan on doing any swimming/jumping around but was wondering if I can be out in the sun for that long? I will wear supporting halter/sports bra looking bathing suit tops to avoid direct sunlight to the incision and LOTS of sunscreen. Would this still be okay?
