Were you given the option of taking a shower after your surgery? I'm supposed to be in for three days and I can't imagine not showering for three days?

I was allowed to shower the day after my surgery.

I'm unsure on how you'll be after surgery, but I didn't want to do anything after, not even "eat".

I was outpatient. I was released from the clinic around noon, went to the hotel and took a four hour nap. Woke up and took one of the best showers of my life. Took the wife out to dinner, walked all over downtown Las Vegas (Baby!), played a few hands of blackjack and was back in bed by 9:00. Woke up the next day to another glorious shower.

I ws2s given the option the day 2, but I said no. I don't like showering in hospitals.

You will be given the choice at some point.

If you feel well enough and are steady on your feet, and a shower hasn't been offered, request one. Typically the clinicians want to ensure that you're able to stand safely for the shower.

Well this isn't what you asked.....but after my TT surgery I couldn't shower for 12 days. I went through alot of wet wipes and thank goodness for sponge baths....and a willing wife.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
