How long before shower?
So...I didn't even think about this but now Im curious too - I will call and ask my surgeon Monday.
So for those who could NOT shower until drains come out - did you at least get to do a ***** bath (wet rag wipe down?)

Wow! Looking at everyone's responses, I feel fortunate!
I was able to shower the next day - as long as I wasn't dizzy. The nurse got in the shower with me and I had a shower chair. I felt like a new person. I can't imagine waiting till my drains were out. I lost my last drain at 14 days out.
