Laparoscopy Recovery

Mine took around 2 weeks. However that was only a diagnostic, nothing removed

I’ve had two and both I bounced back after less than a week. The second one I had laser removal of stage 3 endo, so that took a little longer. Just take it easy with things like lifting! And even though it’s not a vaginal entry, it can cause bleeding and things to be a little off in that area for some time after!

Stage 4 ans it took 2 weeks at least. I had a lot removed!

I had the surgery two times it was week for me the doctor also check my tubes

So happy for the above ladies with amazing experiences. By surgeon told me 2-4 weeks but I wasn't myself for 18 months and had a hard time to even sit on a bumpy bus for at least 3 months. My c section was easier later on so maybe a lot comes down to what quality aftercare you get, how much you rest properly in the early days etc. Stay away from long car journeys, stay on top of rest and Painkillers. Ask for more if they're not enough (I developed nerve damage from insufficient Painkillers and other issues which since resolved but still please take this advice). I was in surgery for 4 hours with stage 3 endo removed. On the bright side, 5 years later there was no regrowth showing on MRI and I conceived naturally after all that time. So you could say it was worth it. Good luck! Heat patches and peppermint tea for gas pain (in your shoulders). Pillow for under car seat for the way home. Pack lots of laxatives for the first poop as you would be constipated from the anaesthetic and codeine afterwards. ♥️♥️♥️♥️

I did these preparations for my c section and that's why it was so much better. I wanted a natural birth but I knew there's a 30% chance of emergency section in my country so I packed these things anyway and was so grateful to myself. Increase slow walking every day, start with just around your house then the next day to next house then around the block then around the block 2x, etc. You've got this. Hope it goes amazing and they remove everything and you have a great recovery!

I did take 2 weeks off work. Tried walking every day, peppermint tea and wind ease tablets to help with trapped gas.

I've had 3 lots of surgery and it's been anywhere between a week to two weeks. All depends on the surgery and what they do x
