Recovery
You will initially be nursed in a flexed position on your bed and you will slowly straighten up over the next few
days prior to your discharge. There will be drains in your abdomen which are removed usually by the time of
discharge.
While recovery time will vary from patient to patient based on the extent of surgery undertaken, you should
plan for the following:
At least 2-3 weeks off work
No driving for at least 3 weeks
No heavy lifting for 6 weeks
You must have someone to help with the care of young children for at least the first 3 weeks post-operatively.
The abdomen feels “tight” for several weeks after surgery, as though you are wearing an internal corset.
Numbness may be present around the incision and the belly itself and in some cases may be permanent. The
scar begins to fade after 3 months and may take 1 to 2 years to reach its final appearance. The majority of
bruising and swelling will resolve by 6 weeks but can persist for several months.
