Worrying too much?: Keep the sites clean, dry, ; covered. You're already on post-operative antibiotics. If red ; draining or open, get the wound(s) checked out now. Unless you're talking about intimate contact where the wounds will be contaminated in some way, casual interactions will not place your healing surgical incisions at risk. Get out there ; live life appendix-free.
