I think i rather ask this silly question than not know what to do...

Hi everyone, i am still not a banded, but looking to get banded soon, i've already done my consultation with Dr Chris De Bruyne in Dubai..now just deciding if i should go for it or not( Honestly i am really really scared) and i understand almost everyone prolly went through this nervousness/anxiety and undecided phase before their surgery as well.

Now since m not banded yet m doing all my research i can before hand and looking in for answers i dont have from someone who does.( as i found out everyone here is very very helpfull--my own experience:thumbup:)

I am starting this post so everyone can also post all the questions they think are silly and which they dont have answers too, something u think might be intense to something realli reallli small...coz as i said i rather ask a silly questions then dont know wat to do if m in situation..

So here is my question :

I have heard and read from post that soon after surgery (not sure how long 1-7 days maybe or longer/shorter) u are not realli suppose to bend as it might cause some problems to the stitches or port , so wat do we do in a situation when u have to go to toilet and after clean urself and later pulling up ur underpants since u have to bend?especially the same day or the following day after surgery....m sorri for posting such an embrassing question but i've realli been thinking abt it and i didnt know where else i can get the answers, soo i ask....:rolleyes2:
