Day 2 post-op; feeling like my incisions will pop!

[JBean]

My incisions feel like they’re not there until I try to get up out of bed or out of a chair! I’m doing so way too often on a daily basis due to boredom.

Should I be trying not to get in and out of a bed/chair as often as I am?

Thank you and this is my first post in this community. So happy to be here!

It’s good to move, especially if you feel like it. Try using a pillow to brace your abdomen when changing positions. I remember wishing I had an abdominal binder to reduce the pull on my abdomen. It doesn’t last long, I think it was probably 10 days for me when that started feeling better.

I used an abdominal binder to help and it made such a big difference but a pillow to hold on to would be good as well. The more you move the better so don’t stop doing that.
