Recovery time after laparoscopy

[Norman1970]

Can anyone clarify what the recovery period is after a laparoscopy please? I'm having planned surgical removal of my ovaries potentially

Thanks

I had 3 weeks off work, but mine was for excision of endo. I'm stage 4 and it was a 4 hour op. I felt fine to go back after 3 weeks but I think everyone will be different x

I had one ovary removed and stage 4 endometriosis diagnosed on a Friday, and went back to work for a couple of hours the next Wednesday.

Everyone is different but only you will know how you feel.

If you think you can do something, don't rush it!

Hope all goes well xx

Hi, I had both ovaries and tubes out on 5 August. First three days were sore to move around then every day got better and I walked every day increasing my distance as recommended. I went back to work on 24 August. Good luck, you will be fine 😘😘 xx
