Taking a bath

So, I'm a week post op and I really wanna soak in my tub. Lucky for me, I have a small tub and when a big person gets in it, there no way water is going to come close to reaching your belly. So...my question is, can I take a bath if I don't get my incisions wet? [emoji848]

      They make waterproof bandages if you are really worried about them getting wet. Enjoy! I know i loved my first hot soaking bath after surgery.
