I had an appendectomy this week, but my surgeon didn't say anything to me about what to do and what not to do after surgery. He never said what to expect, either. Anyone have any info? I've tried looking online...

I can't beleive your surgeon would let you home without telling you all the info!My dad had his out and of course he had to keep the wound dry and clean etc, and let air to it when he could, but he had to take it REALLY easy for a few weeks, and NO heavy lifting at all for a month or so! I don't think he was meant to drive either for the first 2 weeks, tho im not sure of the timescale on that one. Hope your not in too much pain

Thanks for the quick reply! I'm seeing the surgeon tomorrow to have the stitches out, then my fiancee is driving me 3 hours down the road where my Dad is picking me up for another 2.5 hour drive. It's my wedding shower on Sunday! Sheesh!
