Jingle123423 165 Posted July 29, 2018 I haven't been sleeved yet however, I did have a laproscopic surgery eons ago. I remember that using a pillow as almost a brace against my middle helped a lot. 1 Frustr8 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Creekimp13 5,840 Posted July 29, 2018 (edited) Make sure to use your incentive spirometer ten times an hour. It will help. https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/articles/4302-incentive-spirometer Walk every hour. If you run a fever or the cough gets worse, let your team know ASAP.
