Hi everyone! I was just curious how soon you all were able to take a shower after surgery? And how you kept your incisions protected. Thanks!

the day i went home (i stayed overnight)

i took a shower (faced away from water) and did so every day afterwards til i was able to resume bathing.

i kept my incisions dry as i could but did not stress much over them.

all the best

ps, the hot Water def helped my left shoulder pain

I showered the day after surgery. If your incisions get wet just pat them dry gently. I had dermabond (glue) instead of steri-strips so it was easy.

I was told to wake 48 hours before showering and then I could shower, but no tub baths for 2 weeks.

I am a bath person. So I took baths. Guess what after I filled up the tub my fat stomach was sticking out of the water. So it was real easy not to get the incisions wet. Oh well can't do that now.

The next day. Just dont soak them and youll be good!
