Are there any things I should be careful about so as to avoid weakening the operation?
During the first four to six weeks you should direct attention
toward avoiding those activities that can increase
intra-abdominal pressure and put excessive strain on the
abdominal wall. Thus, take cathartics to avoid constipation
and straining with bowel movements. Don't lift heavy
objects. To avoid coughing, stop smoking; a coughsuppressing
medicine is helpful. Get plenty of rest. You
can walk to the movies, be driven about, go visiting and
do many other things. You can go on vacation provided
you observe these elementary precautions. Relax and
enjoy the convalescent period.
