... about popping a staple, or breaking something!

Mysurgery date was 4/2 so I'm 12 days post op and I still have this fear everyday. Like I can feel things shifting when I get up, how much longer till I feel normal?

It's great you're being careful...but at this point, you're probably being overly cautious. Long past time to get up and get moving as normal:) No reason to worry.

You should be up and about with no risk of hurting yourself- I was good to go around a week in. Your stomach may feel a bit odd but the more you move the more it’ll heal

Like they’ve said, at this point you’re totally safe and it’s a mental thing

Move slowly and smoothly and you should be okay.

Don't pick up a hog and you'll be just fine.

Please be up and moving. Blood clots and dehydration are the number 1 risk and potential fatal risks after surgery. You should be walking around at least 10 min every 1-2 hours to avoid a blood clot. They are no joke.

Definitely be up and moving about. Blood clots are dangerous often resulting in pulmonary embolism, heart attack, stroke and deep vein thrombosis. Up and moving friends, I promise nothings gonna fall off or out. Feel better!
