HI Abby
Dr Avery should give you the ins n outs of post op care. Write down all your questions after reviewing some of the posts here by super TOS surgical candidates here then ask Dr Avery. A lot depends on his type of surgery he his performing

*your type of TOS
*type of surgery performing
*your personal body mechanics
*tolerance to pain. Everyone is different.

Also, find out
*how many days in the hospital post op
*his protocol for patient care post op, pain meds and physical therapy.

Sending you the best of luck and quick healing vibes
