I just had my TT 4days ago and I'm curious how long does it take before the incision will seal? Or when can I stand up straight? I feel like forcing my self to stand up straight but I don't want to rip the stitches. Also when Can I have a normal shower?

Answer: Your questions can only be addressed by your surgeon as we all have our different protocols on when you can stand upright without bending at your waist and when showers can be done. My patients can shower on POD 2 but that is my protocol. My patients can stand upright as so as they feel they can as I do not do the tightest tummies. So ask your surgeon and in the acute post-op phase you are in right now, you should have easy access to your surgeon.
