When you wake up after surgery, you should remember that there will be a pressured bandage around your abdomen. This bandage is to reduce swelling, edema and bleeding that may occur after surgery. With all this there will be drainage tubes placed under the skin. These tubes will be taken within 24-48 hours. After the operation, it is recommended to lie down with 1-2 pillows behind your knees. These pillows will ensure that your legs are bent, thereby reducing tension in the abdomen. In the first few days, you will be able to walk obliquely due to tension in the abdomen, and in the following days you will be able to gradually walk in an upright position.
