Can someone help me about life after AUS 800 implant?

Today is day 3 after surgery and my husband is doing pretty well. He does have pain from the stomach incision. Are the first 7 days the worse and then it calms down? Thanks again for your help.

@mirsy Yes. End of answer.
Longer version.... it can take up to 2 weeks for the incisions & swelling to calm down.
If you're helping him shower, I found that drying the area with a hair drier on not-too-hot works better than trying to gently use a towel.
Other than that... it just takes lots of rest, gentle movement & time.
You're nearly at the finish line. Doing well.
