Getting Up And Down Post Op

[Falicia004 26]

I had to hold my tummy too still do unless I wear a tight tank then it relieves pain from pressure I promise it's worth every penny there a life saver

At the hospital a physical therapist came by to show me how to get in and out. My bed is high so I bruised more. Buy a body pillow. I still use it and its helped big time.

I was sore but was up walking around the hospital the next day...up n down the stairs and I sleep on my sides now that does hurt some but getting better 11/20 was mine...good luck

I slept in a reclined for the first week too. I'm a side sleeper and that was too painful for quite a while. When you stand up, make sure you use your legs, not your abdomen - best advise the nurse gave me. Agree with the coughing, sneezing! Horrible, splint your abdomen as much as you can.

KellyAnn,

I am hoping for that.. Just trying to get mentally prepared. I go through ebbs and flows, but right now I am just excited! A little behind on all the Christmas stuff, but right on time for RNY.
