If you’ve had surgery, you know how painful and uncomfortable it can be. But if you’re wondering how long it will take to recover from the procedure, don’t panic! Follow these tips to help your body recover faster:

Rest and sleep are essential for the recovery process. Your body needs rest in order to heal, so it’s important that you get enough sleep.
