Post op advice

I would suggest to ask your doctor, just to be sure! I will say from personal experience, yes, 9 days isn't super long. I had pain and discomfort and symptoms for a good two weeks. The pain in my shoulder, chest, ribs was from the gas - so making sure I was moving (lightly of course) and gas X really helped that. As for the dizzy spells and fatigue- I had all of that as well- and just found I needed to rest. I know our incisions may seem small and laparoscopy isn't considered something "major" but, it is still surgery. They are still inside moving organs, poking at things that aren't usually poked at, so your body (even if the outside of the incisions are healed nicely) is still healing. But like I said, I would definitely just run it by your doctor to be safe to make sure there is nothing more going on that just needing time to fully recover <3 Hope that helps and that you do start finding some comfort and relief soon. Be gentle with yourself. -Kimberli (advocate)

This is my first surgery procedure for endo and I think I have the pressure of my boss pushing me back to work within 10 days on full duties including heavy lifting. emotional and physical I thought I would be feeling a bit better but I got accept I can’t be solely independent atm without the support of My amazing husband helping me. I do have a appointment coming up to ask the doc question about my recovery
Thanks for your kind advice.

I’m going to ask my gyno to provide a light duty certificate to return to work on light duties as that’s the only way my boss will accept what I can and can’t do. Thanks for your advice.
