Oh, a couple of additional thoughts & hints...
The first few days home were difficult, managing the incision, trying to move delicately. Sitting up from lying down was the most difficult/painful, so I think the idea of a recliner is a great idea.
Once I did get my appetite back, I was only able to eat very small meals at a time to avoid feeling so bloated.
One other helpful hint - My doc had me wear an abdominal binder post surgery - but I scooched it up under my breasts, around my ribs to add a little support to the incision.

Hope this is helpful...as I remember things I may post again~
