Dizziness and feeling feint post-op. Is this normal?

Hi everyone, hope you are all doing okay ❤️

So I had my lap 4 days ago, whereby my endo was excised. I'm not sure how much was there or removed as I didn't get to speak to the surgeon after my op, but the operation took 3 hours.

My question is, is it normal to feel dizziness and feint 4 days post op? After my diagnostic lap I was feeling pretty fine by this point! I have only ever had 2 ops (this one and my diagnostic lap in November) so I'm not sure how I'm supposed to be feeling by now and whether I should call the docs?

Any advice is greatly appretiated :) thank you in advance ladies!! Xx

Hiiiiiiii, I just had my lap 5 days ago (Mon) wasnt let home till Tuesday due to other minor complications, then went back in on Thursday as the belly button excision opened up and bled 😩! Had a rough time with it this time round (4th time) but surprisingly no after op pain! My op lastest a good few hours too but I was told there was a lot to excise! Don’t get me wrong I do feel a bit of pain the odd twinge here and there and the pain around my excisions but otherwise it’s ok!

I’m still feeling faint once in a while too, when I feel I’ve over done things but I’ve got a history of fainting when the pain gets too bad (almost once a week pre op 😕) see how you go, if the op was long it’s a possibility they had to excise quite a bit! You may just still be feeling it all can take a week 10 days to feel ok ish post op! Like not groggy and tired or sickie and dizzy or the pain from all the air travelling around body! Has been this way for me previously! See how you go if The light headed was does get worse or you do faint then contact GP, but it’s only been 4 days, just put your rest up and rest up!!!

Good luck with it all XxX
