Thank you for asking!
appendicectomy is a simple procedure and one should be completely mobilised as soon as possible after the surgery. You can do any thing you want. Stitches get removed after a week. keep the wound clean and avoid lifting any heavy weights as they lead to pain. rest assured, you can adopt any posture you like and any daily activity you need. There are no worries in that
Take care
