Im the same I had bleeding when I woke up and it’s continued all night so far. I also feel really lightheaded and not myself so I’m sure it’s normal x

I think it’s normal as I woke up with a pad on after surgery

Yeah I feel a bit sick, light headed and all that pre operation hangover feeling :(

Hi there I'm not sure of the bleeding I never had that did they tell you to expect it or give you a leaflet on what to expect after being discharged? If your really concerned call 111 and a health professional/nurse can advise. Make sure your not on your feet too much, you don't have a temperature and your drinking fluids. The light headed and groggy feeling I would say from experience is normal from being put under and the painkillers. Take care let us know how you are in the morning xx

The bleeding is normal I was told I may expect it but didn’t. The groggy feeling will be the anaesthetic and painkillers I was the same felt like I was drunk day after x

Hi Kate. I had my laprascopy on Friday and I had the same bleeding and spotting too which I believe is normal. I was kept in hospital overnight as I was too weak to go home afterwards but I'm starting to feel much more better after a few days back at home, the dizziness and nausea has gone just very sore. Hope you're feeling better today x

Still feel a bit hungover but sore yeah bleeding is minimal which is good just letting everything settle down and letting things sink in

I know the feeling. Although my body is starting to heal from the surgery my head is completely fried. Just got to take things easy and rest up x
