You won't feel the rods.
You can sit, stand and lay down, sitting in 1 posistion for long periods of time is not really a good thing. You need to get up and move around.
Walking is the most important thing to do, movement is good for healing.
They want you walking as much as you can.
You just have to go by what your body tells you.

@profevl I can feel the rods when I first lie down. There are also certain chairs I sit in and can feel them. That has been an “ick” factor I discussed with the doctor and he said it’s because I’m thin🧐. It’s not painful, just an awareness. Best to you as you go through this and recover!

@profevl Hello again, I replied to you in another area of this message board a few days ago, and i just saw this question regarding sitting after surgery. The information you received from jlssurplus is very good advice to follow.

I have a standing desk where I have my computer, and I went mainly between the desk and laying down throughout the day. As jlssurplus stated, the main thing is to not lay in bed all day, or even the majority of the day. I would lay down for 60 to 90 minutes, then I would be up for 60 to 90 minutes, and repeat throughout the day.

I didn't sit at home for the first 2 weeks (except in the bathroom), but that was me being a little paranoid about something happening if I sat down. I did have a couple of appointments I went to, and I sat in the car while my wife drove, and everything was fine. I would ask your surgeon just to verify how much sitting you should or shouldn't do in their opinion, but as you mentioned, if it isn't painful, it should be fine.
