      You have to ask your doctor, we can't answer that for you. It all depends on how healed your incisions are and if he says it's safe.

    I was told no submerged water for 4-6 weeks.

    I was also told 4-6 weeks due to the risk of infection! but please check with your surgery first

    Sorry, guys, I meant SHOWERS!! LoL

    Anywayyyyy, I had my first shower since last FRIDAY today.... Boy, did that Water feel good! I also washed my hair and made sure no head water went on my incisions. I could not take anymore sponge baths... I needed a shower desperately! And guess what..... After that I felt rejuvenated and strong! I even went to BestBuy to get the fridge filter AND, when it was time to get into bed, it was a piece of cake!!
