is it necessary to lie down and rest during the day? is sitting for long periods bad? I am 12 days post op.

For the first week after I was really weak and didn't have much energy. I was told to get up and walk around as much as possible, but if I felt dizzy to take it easy. I will be honest the first two weeks I really took it easy. I didn't go back to work until 3 weeks after surgery. I am starting to get some energy back, but it's been slow coming. For me personally there was nothing wrong with taking it easy, but I just made sure I got up and moved around and walked throughout the day, so I didn't get any blood clots. It definitely helped with recovery. Are you having. Hard time getting up or walking?

Congrats on your surgery. Hopefully you are recovering well.

my energy levels are good. I do feel weak sometimes. But I want to know if we should lie down for stomach to heal.is sitting for long putting pressure?I started office for 1 hr from day 7. Its not strenuous...mainly for signs.and decisions as I am in charge of a school.

I felt weak and lightheaded until about week 12 post op.

Take it easy and listen to your body. Everyone heals at different rates.
