Will I be able to take care of my personal hygiene after surgery

As a follow up to the person who posted about what things to take to the hospital, I noticed that some of you suggest baby wipes or similar. How limited are you to take care of yourself after open RNY?<p>How long does the catheter stay in? Can I go to the bathroom myself and clean myself or am I like a baby while in the hospital. I realize I will hurt like the h_!!, but I am also pretty stubborn and will want to try. What should I expect?
