Dr. Thomas Taylor: Recovery from Abdominal Surgery

For more than twenty years, Dr. Thomas Taylor taught medical students the intricacies involved with various types of surgeries, including abdominal surgery. He didn’t just teach them how to perform these procedures, but also how to prepare patients for the effects after.

Soon after you’ve undergone abdominal surgery, the recovery process begins. When you regain consciousness, you are encouraged to start your breathing exercises. If you don’t have a breathing tube, you can try taking a short walk or sitting.

Walking is quite essential to your recovery. As much as possible, try and get out of bed and walk. It reduces any muscle spasms, helps your breathing, reduces pain, and improves the flow of blood to the limbs. It may take a while before you start retaking solid food, but drink as many fluids as possible to replenish the body with necessary nutrients.
