After all surgery, it is important to be up and about mobilising as soon as possible.  This works towards preventing potential post-op complications, such as blood clots, chest infection, generalised stiffness and trapped wind.  As soon as you feel steady on your feet, after your surgery, you should be mobilising around your room and then up and down the corridor.  Walking within your capabilities following all surgeries is generally encouraged.

Caution needs to be taken when starting core exercises and weightlifting.  It is best to discuss this with Mr Li or the nursing team at the time of pre-op.
