when can you have a bath?

I’m day 11 post op. Can i have a soak in the bath? please say i can lol. Nurse didnt mention it. she just said i could shower (yesterday) to removed steri strips x

nope sorry..need to wait till ur 6wk check, scars will still be too raw the now lol! water carries bacteria and u could pick up and infection from it xx

ooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! *having a tantrum (gentle one lol)

thanks hun.x

i kno booooooo im still jst content with gettin in the shower after the week of greasy hair lol but i thot last night it would be so nice to have a soak..spesh coz its freezin outside! ..not worth the risk tho xxx

I am feeling really bruised now and would love a good soak with some radox, bummer isn’t it?!

Maybe a soak but keep your boobs dry… you could still get all nice and warm and keep top half warm.. xx Thats what i will be doing. x

So you can shower after week 2 but not bath untill week 6 is that right??

My nurse told me shallow baths up to my waist for first week post op then I can start showering 4 days after my 1 week check. Thing is I don’t have a shower in my house only a bath so what I am gonna do for 6 weeks !! Xx

Girls I don’t have a shower (live in an old house and waiting to do the bathroom up) so I have bathed from 4 days po. At about 2 weeks PO I started having a lay down in the bath and have done ever since. I had a lovely long soak last night and I have had no problems at all. My scars are amazing and are healing so well… you wouldn’t think I am 4 weeks PO. The have shrunk to about an inch and a half long and are just a tiny red line now! considering some say you can use bio-oil at 4 weeks PO I think having a soak BUT MAKE SURE YOU PAD THE SCARS DRY AFTER is fine!! xx
