I just had a small stromal Tumor removed from my fundus area of my stomach. In the procedure the wall of my stomach was punctured, the doctor put staple in the area to seal it back up. I went home immediately after the procedure, what should I do or not do to recover?
Hi ! Good afternoon. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. If I were your doctor, I would have admitted you for 24 hours for observation, with IV fluids, and nil orally for complete rest to the GI tract for proper healing. Further management would get influenced by your recovery in the first 24 hours. I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.
