Fragile After Op?

[mesmus 3]

Im going to get mine done soon and i was wondering what usually happens after the op ? The doc said something about sleeping at hospital overnight thats about it.

Will i be able to walk at day 1 or very slowly or something?

I am post op day 1. I was able to go home day of surgery. I am very sore today. I have only experiences one episode of the shoulder gas pain. I got up and walked around my living room several times and it dissipated. I can not lay down comfortably. So I slept on the couch sitting upright last night. Trying to sip sip and sip. I'm so afraid of getting nauseated but I haven't been yet. My abdominal binder and pillow are very helpful. I'm definitely ready to get back to normal but I am doing pretty good I think!!!

Imedicare changed its policy for staying the night the wek I had surgery so I was u walking slowely right after. It was uncomfortable someone has been cuting and moving things around but not bad. Get some gas x and a heating pad as that was my biggest help and sip sip sip everything u can. Make your own broth and a big pot it taste better then can. keeping walking around and each day is better.

You all are doing fine. It was a slow start for me but now I am up and about and slowly getting my strength back. I am entering week 3 and feel so much better. Still achy but doing fine.

Hang in there. It does get better.

Isnt this operation lightweight sort of thing? They dont cut you up or anything, just holes.

Does it drain alot of energy??

My operation started at 7am, I was at home in my own bed by 12:00pm. I would wake up from time to time and sit at my kitchen table drink a little Water or juice and then go back to bed. The second day I sat in the living room and watched a movie or two then another nap, then a short walk on my street.
