What to do after open myomectomy?

[Nalo]

Hi,

Any advice on what to do after an open myomectomy surgery? Do I need to get a postnatal massage too since it’s similar to a c-section delivery?

Also, my tummy (above the c-sect) has been big since day 1 after the surgery. Is this normal? It wasn’t big before the surgery and I definitely didn’t expect it to become big after the surgery since I’m removing fibroids.

Thanks in advance.

Late to this forum but thought i can still give my comments (may be helpful to future readers). I had open myomectomy in 2022 and didnt do any postnatal massage. My recovery was smooth, felt like i'm back to normal in 3rd week post surgery.

Also, didnt feel my tummy got bigger. Nevertheless, I didnt manage to loss any weight from this (disappointed. lol).
