Due to have an endometrial ablation on Monday after the 1st one failed as the fan thing wouldn't open inside me. They are going to the balloon method or a dissection so 1st question has anyone had this without a lap to know recovery times . Also have woken up this morning with my throat on fire & feeling generally unwell everyone at work and my husband and one of my dons have colds. Will this stop me op or is it only if u have a bad chest or nasty cough. Any answers or advice would be appreciated.

Hi. I had an endometrial ablation done 2 years ago. I did have the upside down umbrella fan thing though. Afterwards I spent a couple of days in bed (for the first few hours the cramps were a little bit painful but that could have just been me), but within a week I felt back to normal. I am not an anesthetist so don't know much about having ops when unwell but I always thought that if you have the beginnings of a cold they might not want to go ahead. Good luck on Monday! X
