Quick question, anyone know how long I'm supposed to wait to take a shower? I've asked my surgeon and nurses hundreds of questions the past two days but forgot to ask about showering.

My doctor said I can shower at any time. He said to let the dressings come off on their own.

I was told to wait until I was 2 days out from surgery. At that time, I could take the bandages off (NOT the steristrips underneath) and shower. The steristrips will come off on their own (I'm 5 days post-op and 3/6 have come off). Honestly, my doctor will most likely remove the other three at my follow up appointment tomorrow.
