Hello

1)
Does Yoga, in some way, increase the appearance / emergence of a
pre-existing Appendicitis?

2)
What Yoga postures (if any) are safe during the 1st and 2nd week of recovery
after the operation?

3)
Can most asanas, still, be practiced, at all, 1 month or later after the
operation?

4)
Any Yoga remedies (asanas, pranayam, special yogic diet, etc...) that
accelerates the pace of recovery?

Regards,
Elias

No. But, you become more aware, so you will
become aware that something is wrong earlier.

The Patience Posture, The Resting Posture, The Walking Posture,
The Thankful-You-Are-Still-Alive Posture, The
Thank-God-There-Is-Such-A-Thing-As-A-Surgeon Posture.
