    Hey Hun I had to wait 9 days it really depends on how your incisions are healing if they are fully closed then you will be allowed if they are not then you will be told to wait xx

    Yes Hun you can you just can’t get any of your strapping wet incase it causes infection you also might find it easier to either just have a wash at the basin or if you have a detachable shower head use that and to wash from the belly down x

    I waited until I had my post op appointment a week after I had surgery and the nurse told me that i could have a full shower as she had took off all the strapping. I did have a few shallow baths but just be very careful babe 🙂 xx

    Once you’ve had your 1 week check up and are told you are healing well then you should be fine. Before that I used to wash my top half in the sink and have a shallow bath for my bottom half but with my bra on so the strips didn’t get damp and then get out and wash my hair over the bath. Bit of a rigmarole but it worked lol x
