Future WLS Patients "The Most Important Necessity"
One of the hardest things to do after surgery is get in and out of bed. This is because you need to use your stomach muscles.
My doctor had attempted a Lap RNY and after all the procedures had been followed I was changed to an Open RNY.
Getting in and out of bed caused the worst stabbing pains and then when I was laying down or standing the stabbing pains turned to a burning pain.
This is the best thing you should/can do for yourself if you can.
That first day I sent my husband to Med Mart and had him rent me a lift and lower recliner. I would have never had to suffer the first day off the excess pain I had if I had this chair. My back and abdominal stitches were not pulled and I also did not have any lap incision pain on the sides.
I would greatly advise that if you do not have a recliner see if you can borrow one or rent one, You only need it for about a week lap or 3 weeks open.
