As soon as you are ready. My hospital in Mexico had me shower the next morning.

Same, I stayed one night in the hospital (California) and was able to shower that next morning. They wrapped up my stomach in what looked like plastic wrap, but it was nice to feel fresh and clean!

Same here, I showered the next morning in the hospital. I didn't even think to bring my own shower products and wish I had. The stuff they had to use was crap. I had the glued on strips and didn't have to cover anything when I showered. I had to wash my abdomen very gently since it was quite sore. I was exhausted after, but felt so much better. The stuff they made me wash with prior to surgery was so itchy!

I had surgery on a Wednesday and was able to shower on Friday.

I was only one night in the hospital, but I waited till I came home and took one.

I was told I was unable to shower until 72 hours after surgery so my incisions won't get went.

I too was able to shower the next day. Steri strips kept incisions dry.

I showered the day I left, was in for 2 nights. I waited until they took out my IV and all the things hooked up to me. I did bring deodorant and baby or fresh clean wipes to use before I showered. They helped tons! They did tell me I could shower the day after but it sounded like a big ordeal with all the things hooked up to me!

Good luck on your surgery!!!

I showered the following day. My surgeon used Dermabond (super glue for skin) on my incisions so it was no big deal to get wet. I would bring my own shower stuff and pj's.... I felt so much better after a shower, clean jammies and a little make up LOL

I had an incision that wouldn't quit bleeding so they wouldn't let me shower. I had surgery on a Tuesday & showered Thursday when I got home. :-)

Yeah, I had to keep the incisions from getting wet, but I showered a couple hours after my surgery. It was pure joy.
