Some things you should know after surgery:
  • Don't eat solid food too soon after surgery. Your body and organs have been put to sleep, so your organs will not digest all the food. Therefore, you will throw up any solid foods that you eat.
  • Don't return too soon to school or work... start back at 45min. intervals.
  • I wore a back brace for 3 months, but no one really noticed that I had it on.
  • For a few weeks after surgery, you will be unable to shave your legs because bending over will cause you harm.
