SAH First shower at home

As the doctor instructed, I covered my incision with saran wrap and sealed it with waterproof tape, but it got wet anyway. I had to pat it dry and blow dry it. Anyone else have this experience?
My Steri-Strips are starting to peel off. I suppose I should let them fall off in their own time, right?

They'll be fine. I didn't have steri strips this time but in the past I was never told to keep them completely dry.

I never had to cover my incision site at all. I just patted it dry after each shower -- in fact, I was told to wash it with soap and water. But, be sure to talk with your doctor.

I had durabond that glued my incision together. I had an allergic reaction the glue that started 10 days post op and I peeled it off. The incisions were healed together by that point. I think you should be safe.

I was showering from day 3 of my hospital stay, as approved by the nurses looking after me. This was with my two wound drains too- so had to do a juggling act My dressing was changed afterwards.

I was told to trim the ends off the steristrips as they lifted up from the skin so they came off gradually.

My incision healed beautifully.

My doctor pulled my glue off at my 2 week post op visit and said I wouldn't have hurt anything had I pulled them off sooner.

I showered at day 3, never covered steri strips. I was also told to allow soap and water to run over, but not to scrub.
I was told all the steri strips would come off on their own in 7-10 days and mslt did. I pulled the others at 12 days. So even daily showers, they stuck on!
Also, i used the blow dryer on no heat after every shower.
Check with your doc, but it should be okay.
Oh, all of my stitches were internal.

Thanks, everyone!

I showered the next day, dr. Told me I could. I only had paper tape( allergic to surgical tape) and they washed off. I have no idea if I had stitches or glue, the bottom two look like little scratches and the one in my belly button looks a little bruised but it doesnt hurt. Dr. Said to just leave them alone not to re bandage them.

I showered on day 4, before leaving the hospital once I got my staples out. I have steri strips. I was told to wash the area gently but not to let water "sit" at the inscion.
