Haha...I am bathing but in the shower - I really miss my tub!

How long after the lapro could you bathe submerged in Water?

I was told that after all the steri strips or suture tape falls off then its ok to bathe.

I was told 6 weeks for bathing and swimming. My surgeon did not use stitches on my laproscopic "ports", just the glue and steri strips. You don't want any germs settling in there, for sure!

True. Sigh...

I was told 6-8 weeks for bathing and swimming.

I was told 6-8 weeks OR when the drain port had completely healed over, no scab.

I better heal fast! I can't go that long without my hot tub! haha

I was told after the scabs were gone which was about week 4. I love my baths too and hate showers.
