Lap recovery time

[LC_87]

Hi ladies, how long did it take you to recover from your laparoscopy? I am trying to work out how long I will have to be off work, I have an active job with lots of bending and lifting and I have no idea how long it will take me to get back to normal

I just had a lap yesterday the drs said 2 weeks but it can be shorter or longer

I was off for just over 2 weeks, i also had a very active job

It really depends on how much work the consultant does. I've had 2. 1st was 2 weeks recovery but my 2nd was 4 weeks x

It's been 3 week for me now I still haven't full recovered!! Physically I have as I can move around do stuff but still a bit painful! Obviously everyone is different!

Hey. It all depends on the individual and what they do during the laparoscopy, i’ve only returned to work this week and had 4 weeks off, my jobs very active lots of bending and lifting too and i’ve gone back on reduced hours for 2 weeks just so i don’t over do it! Good luck with your lap xxx

I had mine 10 days ago and I’m totally fine (from day 7), occasional discomfort and I’m not ready to start gentle exercise but more than happy with recovery so far. FYI had cyst, endo removed and ovary freed from whatever it was doing, twisting or something.
