Showering after surgery?

How soon will I be able to hit the shower?

I don't feel right without at least 2 showers a day so anything more than one day is going to be pure torture.

    I wasn't restricted at all post op. Go feel fresh and just be careful not to scrub your surgical sites too hard (assuming they did it laparoscopy).

    Probably depends on how your incisions are covered. I had surgical glue so I showered as soon as I got home. They just told me I couldn't wash the incisions.
