Recovery time?

[AllthatGlitters]

How long did it take you to feel better and able to do your usual activities & go back to work?

Having a laparoscopy, hysteroscopy & biopsy.

Hope you all had a good Christmas 🎄

Hey!

I had a laparoscopy in October and it took me about two weeks to feel fully ok to go back to work. Any sooner wouldn’t have been a good idea.

Hope it all goes well!x

It depends what they do. I've not had a hysteroscopy. Are you having any excision/ablation done as well? I know recovery varies from person to person so don't compare yourself with the youtubers who chat away happily a few days after surgery in full make up lol! From my experience a diagnostic lap (I laugh at this as mine diagnosed NOTHING)- 2 weeks. Laparoscopy with excision and mirena -I'm probably going back to work after 8 wks (technically 6 wks sick plus a few weeks holiday). I would not count that as full recovery though I'm still struggling with pain and lack of energy. Your insides take about 3 months to heal. I think the more they do the longer you need to recover. All the best with your opp!

Hi,

I had a laparoscopy on 11th of this month and a laparotomy to remove a lump from inside my C-section scar. I’ve not had a hysteroscopy so can’t comment on that, sorry.

But from what I had done, oddly I felt great after about five days, most of the gas and anaesthetic had cleared or worn off. Think maybe I over did it helping the kids and general tidying etc when I felt ok for 2 days, Cut down on pain relief. But now I’m so sore and incredibly bloated or swollen. Feeling large and slow and useless. I’m getting pains from healing and usual hip and back pain. Some symptoms can’t tell what’s what.

But I guess it’s early days..

I’m being signed off work for another 2 weeks.. day 5 I’d even considered going back before two weeks.

A colleague had a hysteroscopy, no other procedure, returned to work after 2-3 days but had to take more time off as took longer to get over than she thought.

She’s in the office mostly, I’m out driving caring for clients.

Healing is so different for everyone, depends on what they do, how you heal, any complications, your lifestyle, job...

when you’re healing, don’t compare it with other people’s. Be gentle with yourself. I’m so bored and fed up of not being able to do every day stuff, it’s tedious and I’m in pain and fed up ☹️😏 but I’ve got to allow myself to heal properly.

Hope everything comes through and you get it over with, get answers and get well.

Wishing you speedy procedure dates and a speedier recovery x

Hi vmagpie it’s great to hear you have had your procedure but not so good you are not feeling that well.

Hope you have people to look after you & take care of yourself 💕x

Ladies,

Just had hystreocopy during the weekend,

Last 2 days i had yellowish discharged, is it normal?

[introuble]

.. Dr gave me 33days off work from hystreocopy... but I returned work on day 5

I had my lap on Monday, today is Sunday and I went to a family party. If its an office type job you’d be fine after a week off to sit properly etc. I was told I can’t go back to the gym for about 6 weeks.
