I'm 7 days post band op. First day back at work and my largest incision is swollen and tender. Is this normal to due my enhanced activity (kindergarten teacher)? I'm due to go back to dr wed. Should I be worried? Should I apply heat? Ice???

Call your doc…they are the best ones to know what is going on and if they want to see you earlier than wed.

Good luck…keep us posted!

Thank you!!!

call your doctor. take your temp. they will ask for that. but while you are at work try a little support for that large incision area. like a abd. binder or a back support turned around. it may help keep things still and not be traumatized. hope it is nothing.
