I'm so sorry they didn't treat you well or give you clear instructions on aftercare. I believe I waited 24 hours after my surgery to shower, but it could've even been 48... I'm pretty sure I was told it was ok to shower sooner than that, but I wanted to play it safe. (And definitely no baths or hot tubs or anything like that, due to infection risks.)
As for the belly button/incisions, I used a body wash called Hibiclens (small blue/green bottle), it's an antiseptic soap that my surgeon told me to buy to use before and after surgery. You can find it pretty easily at most stores/pharmacies, I think.
Good luck, and again, I'm so sorry your experience didn't go well. I too felt rushed out afterward and to this day it upsets me.

I got mine from the store, though, not Amazon. I think I paid around $5-$6 for it. Also, I was instructed to get something to help with going #2 due to the pain meds causing constipation issues, so I bought Milk of Magnesia, which is pretty cheap and commonly found in most stores, as well. Don't wait too long to take that, which is what I did (I think I waited like 5 days lol. Not fun!)
