Following the operation, we recommend getting as much rest as possible and if you do need to move, it’s important to avoid putting any stress on the muscles in your abdomen. One of the most important things is ensuring that you don’t try to do too much too soon until you are feeling comfortable and the pain is starting to ease. Our surgeon will carry out a check on the wound a couple of weeks following the procedure to ensure it is healing correctly, but if you have any concerns we advise seeking advice immediately.
