It didn't even occur to me to ask at my post-op appointment, but now it's night and I'd love to relax in a bubble bath.

I'm 9 days post-op.

Anyone told specifically when they were allowed to take bubble baths again? I don't want to mess with my healing incisions, of course, but truth be told...my bath is from the 70's and not very large so most of my belly where the incisions are don't always get covered. They'd get wet, but wouldn't be left to soak in the Water.

Kinda random, but thought I'd ask!

No bubble baths or hot tubs for 4 weeks.

Darn. Thank you!

Specifically, no water immersion until all of your incisions have fully healed.

My restriction was 3-4 weeks, depending on how incisions were healing. Just imagine how extra wonderful it will feel when you can have one.

Thank you all for your fast responses! Bought a special bubble bar for winter from Lush and I can't wait to use it! Couple more weeks!

At my 1 week post-op follow-up appointment, the NP told me to wait 2 additional weeks before doing hydration therapy at my spa.

I took a hot bubble bath at week 3. No problems

This topic is right up my alley. I think I'm going to miss my baths more than food right after surgery!

Lol! I am really missing my baths. I'm two weeks out and it will be two more weeks before I can have one. I can't wait!

This is really helpful. Now I know what I am doing the night before surgery. I will miss soaking in the tub!

I'm definitely experiencing this right now! chicken sounds nice and all, but....I could really go for a good, long soak instead!

As long as my incisions weren't submerged I was cleared to take a bath whenever I wanted. I think I had a bath within a week or two of surgery. I also have a regular old bathtub. Not super deep so my belly incisions were never below the water line.

I am such a bathtub girl. I was allowed in pools and the ocean after 2 weeks. I remember asking because I was traveling at the time.

At 5 months post-op the tub is so much roomier. I absolutely love it. This thread inspired me to take an epic oil bath last night, I stayed in there for the entire Amy winehouse album. You have a lot to look forward to!
