Here we go.

Thanks guys, I have been icing periodically and as for keeping it clean I have it surgically wrapped until my first follow up on Tuesday. Which is when I can shower again for the first time. Does that seem like too long to just have it in the same wrap?

No, I wouldn't worry about that.
Since your first appointment is just a few days away,
they will change the dressing.

Just make sure you wash your hands and keep things sanitized in your house.

Congratulations on your new lease on life.
You will be blown away at how well these implants work.

Best to you.

bigkernel, my Dr advised me that the initial wrapping was designed to allow the incision to seal up before being exposed to all the random stuff in the air that happens when changing bandages. So based on my experience that doesn't seem too long. You are very fortunate that you're able to control pain without opioids -- I had to be on them for almost 2 weeks.

Thanks, I'll held up in a hotel room, so I'll have them clean everyday while I recover lol.

That's what chatgpt told me too, I'm trying to get my first follow up moved to Monday and the second Thursday before I head home Friday.
