Sneezing post-op

I know this is stupid but tomorrow I'm one week post-op and I just realized today I haven't sneezed yet. Ever since I thought about this I'm terrified that I'm going to and that it's going to be so painful! So, tell me about your post-op sneezing experiences :lol:

      Was no big deal. I held a pillow to my belly just in case but it didn’t hurt.

    IIRC, I don't think I sneezed until after my pain had mostly eased. Maybe you'll be equally lucky!

    Coughing and sneezing sucked early on. The pillow trick is very much worth using! Grab that pillow and press it as hard as you can into your stomach before a cough or sneeze, it still hurts, but much less so (and it limits tear or hernia risks)

    It's called "splinting" and yes it does keep you?from feeling you are going to pop open like an over-ripe tomato?
