Lifting and bending after surgery
How soon after surgery were you able to bend down to feed your pets? what about twisting movements? I know lifting litter boxes is a no-no, but will bending be okay?
I will the VSG done.
Use your legs when bending, crouch more - you don't want to be bending over initially after surgery.
You will want to limit the amount of twisting too - you have sutures you don't want pulled or incisions that get stretched open.
I know different surgeons have different lifting requirements.
Good idea to ask him your questions.
