Rita48 65 Posted July 14, 2017 Hi everyone, any tips on how you showered the first time after surgery? When did you take off the glue on the incisions? You don't take the glue off, it will eventually start to come off itself, but no not pull it off! I was able to take shower the day after discharge. I had overnight stay in hospital. Your surgeon or nurse should have instructed you on discharge. You can always follow up with your MD office if you have questions about incision site & care.

nessavsg 5 Posted July 19, 2017 You should be able to shower as soon as you return home. Just try to shower mostly with your back to the shower so that your steri-strips are 'pushed' off your body by the shower Water. As stated above, they will fall off on their own. I am 1 week post op and I still have 5 out of 6 of my steri-strips! Just try to avoid scrubbing the incision sites and let the soapy water run over the front of your body. Hope this helps! 1 sacsa97 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
