I am having the following surgeries completed mid-Nov: laparoscopy, hysteroscopy, D&C, possible argon beam coagulation of endometriosis, and possible tubal sugery. When I asked the staff how much time I needed to take off from work, they stated they could not tell me because it depends on what the surgon does. I am just wondering if any of you gals have had any of these procedures done and how quickly you recovered. I know everyone is different, but would just like a clue.
First good luck with the surgery I hope all goes well.
I had most of those proceedures (no tubal surgery though) last August. I would say the surgery itself was not a big deal and the day I came home I was tired and out of it but really not feeling that bad. Well the next day when I woke up boy was I surprised I could not believe how unbelievably sore I was. I also felt a little off but the worst part by far was the soreness in chest neck and shoulder - all reference pain from the CO2 they pump in for the Lap. for me I ended up pretty much staying in bed and taking it easy for the 2 days after the surgery. Now that said I am quite a bit older than you (38) and perhaps you will bounce back faster than my pathetic decrepit old body did! Good luck,
