Recent covid positive and date for laparoscopy

[0Jasmine]

Hi

Was just wondering if anyone else is in the same position? I will be due my first laparoscopy soon and it will be ten weeks after covid positive. I’m now feeling much better than I did but still feel fatigue and some breathlessness when doing light exercise. Will it still be safe to have the surgery? Feeling very nervous about it but also lucky I have finally got a date! Thank you.

You will probably get a pre-op appointment and you could ask then or contact the surgical team direct.

I am in the same position as u! Due for lap anyday. Covid 11 weeks ago & feel the same as u.

I was reassured that they operate on patients with astmah, copd & are fully equipped for any breathing issues.

U will get a pre-op to talk everything through too 😊

Good luck💖

That’s true, the surgery is enough to worry about isn’t it then you worry your not as fit as you were before! Good luck as well, hope you get a date soon 💕
