The cost of a simple surgery can vary greatly depending on the type of surgery, the hospital or clinic, and your insurance coverage.

Post-operative discomforts and potential side effects can include pain, nausea, vomiting, and in some cases, longer-term complications like infection or nerve damage

I had surgery last month and still can't walk much because my stitches hurt. I've noticed I'm starting to gain weight since I'm not as active. What can I do to manage this without putting too much strain on my healing body?
