2 days post op when will I be able to get out of bed by myself?

[Shir 4]

Hey all,

Got my surgery on Tuesday 9/27, was discharged yesterday. I'm waking, drinking, not in pain... only when I'm trying to get out of bed, it hurts so bad like I've spent 1000009 hour at the gym working on my abs when will this pain go away? Also can't sleep on my back anymore eeerrrr .

I am 3 days post op. I have to roll on my side in order to get up, otherwise I am good. Belly is a bit tender. Not even taking the pain meds anymore. I sleep on my side though. I hated sleeping on my back. It will get better.

It gets a little better every day. You should log roll to get out of bed and use your leg muscles.....

I had an arm lift 11 weeks ago tonight and was not allow to use them at all to get in and out of bed or even up from a chair. I wondered what the heck people do that have their arm lift, Tummy Tuck and breast lift all at the same time. They have to be crazy.

When I got home after surgery, I slept in my own bed. That was fine. But because I had a Water bed, trying to get up out of bed was a killer.

Use a pillow to brace against your stomach, it helps. I couldn't lay on my back until 3rd day after surgery.

I just had to find the "sweet spot". Getting up can be tricky!

I feel you, surgery twin. It's like if I move too fast, I'll rip my muscles
