How long did you wait after surgery before taking baths instead of showers?

thanks and hope everyone is having a great day!

I was told not to fully submerge myself for at least 2 weeks, but even then keep it short until scabs fell off. This is a "check with your surgeon" topic ;) It's different for everyone depending on the size of your incisions and whether or not you had drains. Give them a ring and ask to speak to your surgeon's nurse at the very least.

I haven't had a bath, but I know it was a while. Hell, I didn't even face the shower for a few weeks.
