Stitches after knee (ACL reconstructive) surgery?

I had ACL reconstrutive surgery last Monday (August 16) so it has now been 9 days. I don't have another follow up appointment with my surgeon for two weeks and I was wondering when it would be alright to remove the adhesive tape over my incisions. I "snuck" a peak under by peeling the tape back and it looks like the surgeon used dissolvable stitches. I'm anxious to be able to shower instead of bathing with my leg hanging out of the bathtub, but I don't want to risk an infection or bleeding by removing the tape too soon. Thanks for any advice!
