I'm six days post op. I've been showering but I'm really missing my baths. How long before I can soak in a nice hot tub of water and relax ?

I would not set a specific time limit on it. Just keep an eye on your incisions and hop in the water when they are fully healed.

A bath sounds so nice right now. Showers get old quick!

I asked my doc the same thing, he said at least 3-4 weeks to avoid infection in the incision sites. I did sit in the tub multiple times with the water just up to the bottom of my abdomen, it was better than nothing!

I took a bath after my incisions looked completly healed and then was cautious not to soak them in the bath water. I am now 7 weeks out and have been taking nice soaking baths for a few weeks now.
