Most patients have gauze packing in their noses for one to two days following surgery. Packing serves to minimize bleeding and also acts to hold structures in place during the initial healing period. Many patients will also have silastic (surgical grade plastic) stents placed in the nose. These act like an internal cast and are removed eight to ten days postoperatively. The nose is quite stuffy for two weeks after surgery, until most of the internal swelling has subsided. See similar questions...

Keep head elevated. Use nasal spray to keep passages moist. A guaze taped to the upper lip will help to catch any drainage. The packing in the nose is removed the day following the surgery. The splint inside the nose is removed at 7-10 days following the surgery. The splint outside the nose is removed at 10-14 days following the surgery. Patients may resume gentle activity after the procedure and avoid any heavy lifting or strenuous activity for 2-3 weeks following the procedure. See similar questions...

The children are placed in short leg casts at the time of surgery; these casts will be on for up to six weeks. The children should keep their feet elevated for the first 48 hours and/or up to one week after surgery to decrease swelling and pain. They may walk on these casts and most children feel well enough to be up on their feet in three of four days. See similar questions...

That depends on the procedure. Patients who undergo laparoscopic adjustable gastric bypass tend to stay in the hospital for a little more than one day, while the average hospital stays for patients who undergo open gastric bypass is closer to three to four days. Recovery times differ too. In one study, patients returned to normal activity in about one week after laparoscopic gastric bypass and over 21 days after open gastric bypass. read more about Post Surgery activities.

Monitor recovery time, which depends on monitor type, indicates the type of low-power mode. If recovery from the blank screen is instantaneous, the monitor is likely in the first power management mode, standby or sleep. If 10 seconds or so are required for recovery, the monitor is likely in the second, lower power, mode, suspend. If monitor power management is enabled, the screen may go blank during long download sessions. However, this will not interrupt the download operation. See similar questions...

Barring any complications, some people recover from a successful surgery in a few weeks, others take a few months, and others may take more than a year. Your doctor may suggest a physical rehabilitation program to regain strength and flexibility in your neck and may refer you to a physiatrist - a doctor of physical medicine and rehabilitation.

A number of explanations have been proposed for this phenomenon of delayed recovery, including mechanically induced nerve stretching that may occur (during the operation), thermal damage to nerve tissue caused by cauterization during surgical dissection, injury to nerve tissue amid attempts to control surgical bleeding, and local inflammatory affects associated with surgical trauma.
