I am just curious if I am being problematic with showering, I still don't feel comfortable from the gas as it hurts.

I couldn't shower for two days after surgery. That was due to the IV and catheter. Finally when I was cleared to be discharged the nurses removed the IV and catheter and I was able to shower.

Two days for me as well. It wasn't easy but it felt great. I couldn't bend down to shave my legs for about five days.

I showered the morning after in the hospital. I was told before surgery to bring my own shower supplies because they expect you to shower the next morning.

I had no cath or anything.

I did have my husband help me. It reminded me of my first post-baby birthing shower. I was super sore, couldn't move freely, but I was able to get everything cleaned and dressed in my going home clothes.

I wasn't even in the hospital 24 hrs. I'd read they have people shower but they just let me wash my face and brush my teeth.

Ohh, I guess I will try to shower. I am on two pain pills because of how intense the gas pain is.
(I have a dent where I think the damaged fat deposit is . It hurts, like a muscle being stretched too much.

Ouch! Take it easy then. That sounds painful.

Your surgeon should have given you instructions stating when you're good to shower. I was allowed the day after surgery.

I was allowed day 2 post op... I showered and the rebandaged my incisions before my flight home

I was allowed the day after but was instructed to keep my back to the shower head for the first week. I think that was so that the water didn't pressure wash the glue off.

I was allowed the next day. Also keeping back to shower head

Yeah, I forgot about the back to the shower head part. Already becoming a distant memory at only at 18 days out!

Showered as soon as I got home...I had staples so I was allowed to let water hiy

Showered the day after at the hospital. They had a bench and all the supplies ready for me. Didn't have to worry about water over my incisions either, just was instructed to let soapy water run over them and pat them dry afterwards. Wasn't too bad. I even shaved my legs. Lol
