Welcome to HealthCare Magic. Thank you for posting your query.
I can understand your concern.

Do not worry.

It will take a day for the hospital to discharge you.
It's a simple procedure and will take about half an hour.
Do not worry.

You will be advised to
- Take sitz bath
-     Drink loads of water
-     Avoid oily,spicy food
-     Have a diet rich in fibres
-     I would start tablet Pantoprazole . Your doctor can guide on the exact dosage
-     I would also start syrup Lactulose to soften your stool
-     Avoid straining during stool

I would also suggest you to keep in touch with your surgeon . He/she can examine you and correlate clinically.

Hope this helps.
Write back to us.
Have a nice day.
Regards.
Dr. Goswami
