one day post op mistake

[IAMLU 30]

I had surgery on Thursday. Everything went beautifully as far as the Surgery is concerned. My only issue is I woke up a few hours ago to use the restroom and wasn't thinking and bent over at the waist to pick something up and felt a pop on one of my external incisions. The nurse checked it out and its still closed, just tender now, but it did scare me a lot. Im laying with an ice pack now, glad I'm in the hospital. One additional concern, Im not putting out enough urine. The doctor isn't worried, he says it will pick up very soon but I just worry. Hows everyone else doing? And have you had similar concerns or issues?

Congratulations on your recent surgery. Everything will come together soon. Sounds like you're experiencing normal postop stuff. You;re going to feel better everyday, it just takes time and take it easy for a while. You'll have good days and bad days for a while...It's all worth it though. I'm one pound from my ultimate goal and feel better every day. I'm almost 5 months out...Good luck and keep us posted on your successes!
