Laproscomy aftercare worries

[Nicole93x]

Hi ladies! I am currently awaiting my laproscomy appointment coming through, hopefully I should have answers within the next three months!

Has anyone got any tips on after care? What to expect ect? It would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks xox

Hi,

Just to rest and keep on top of your painkillers don’t expect to be doing housework or much walking other than to the toilet/shower/kitchen for a week or two. I just had my lap about ten days ago and left the house for my first 20 min walk yesterday and had to stop a few times! Having said that, everyone is very different and it depends what happens in there. Hope t all goes well for you.

You maybe very nauseous like I was so I asked for lots of anti nausea drugs because I hate sick I also had peppermint and anti sickness bands on hand to help 🤔 Sleep near a bathroom if thats possible because I still had the anaesthetic in me so the first few nights I couldnt manage the stairs 😂 Also take a pad just in case I bled after I dont know if it was because of my coil being fit or the op but best to be safe than sorry 🤔 Prepare to take at least 2 weeks off I took almost 3 weeks off and that was only a diagnostic lap I dont think it helped that my wounds got infected 😮 Shower beforehand cause you cant have a shower for a few days 🤔 Xx
