Wound care for bypass 12/27 - when did you remove all the bandages?

[lisasamples 0]

I had surgery 12/27 and don’t know when I’m allowed to shower and remove the bandages. I sponged but want to get in the shower.

Keep the bandages on until you see surgeon again. Shower regular, and pat dry!

I was instructed to pull off the outer bandage on day 3. Then the little sticky bandages that were over the incisions would fall off around 1-2 weeks post op. I am 12 days post op and have three left to fall off.

I had glue, no bandages!

I was instructed to keep mine on until my first post-op with my doctor.

I had my RNY on 12/31. Yesterday when I was discharged my surgeon told me I can shower when I got home. I have glue and little tape looking bandages that I am to take off next Wednesday if they don't come off by themselves. The bandages are in the glue from the cuts. Anyway I took a shower and just dabbed the wounds dry.
