I tried to take a bath at around 4 months post-op and couldn't get out myself! It was partly because I put too much bubble bath in combined with a "bath bomb" so the tub was very slippery plus I just wasn't flexible enough yet. I had to get hubby to help me out, embarrassing! When you are able to will depend on you, of course, and how flexible you are. I'd wait until at least 6-8 months. I finally took another bath the other day and was able to get out no problem. (I'm 16 months post-op) I probably didn't need to wait that long but I was chicken to try.When could you manage do get in and out of a bath?
