Re: has any women out there
 

No idea sorry but hope ya recover well soon

Re: has any women out there
 

Nope but know you haven't to do any heavy lifting for at least six weeks. Hope you take it easy and give your body time to heal!!!!

Re: has any women out there
 

Had mine last augast and staples came out 5 days after op. My advice is take it easy and dont push yourself until you are ready. you will feel better but that dosent mean you are. Get well soon xx

Re: has any women out there
 

thank you for you warm thoughts im just restin in bed all the time

Re: has any women out there
 

Best thing for you make sure you get plenty of rest.

Re: has any women out there
 

It's 18 years since I had this op. I was in hospital 5 days afterwards and went home feeling fine but tiring very quickly. For several weeks I had good days and bad days but felt well enough to drive myself to the hospital for my post-op check-up, 6 weeks later. I went back to work 8 weeks after the op, doing 4 hours a day for 2 weeks, then 5 hours for 2 weeks, then 6 hours for another 2 weeks before I went back full time.

My only advice is - take each day as it comes, do exactly what the medical staff have told you, rest as much as you can and never refuse any offer of help while you're convalescing. Just like me, you'll have the Summer to recover in and, with any luck, it won't pee down every day for the next couple of months. :D

Best wishes.

Re: has any women out there
 

I had one 3 weeks ago. Am ok, just bored stupid and frustrated at not being able to do anything.
If I do to much I get pain in my stomach and I swell up really bad. Its hard not to lift especially when as I have a 2 year old. I also tire really easily, but one thing I can say is that do listen and take it easy, I lost one of my stitches and it freaked me out because I had done to much. Its only just hit me in the last few days what I really had done, at first I thought it was a breeze!!

Take care have a look at this site its ok.

0845 4647

Re: has any women out there
 

I would ring the ward you were on, sure they will advise you

Re: has any women out there
 

I bled to after going to the loo and I mentioned it to the staff they said keep an eye on the length and time and if you use more than 2 pads in an hour then seek help. If your at all worried ring the ward.

Re: has any women out there

Re: has any women out there
 

Glad to hear that everything is ok;)

Re: has any women out there
 

Glad to hear your healing O.K. You to Romps. I had one about 6yrs ago. I had the op in June and was back at work in Oct.
I had quite a bad time of it. I couldn't bare my tummy to be touched for a long, long time afterwards.
It was the worse thing I have experienced in all my life. A total nightmare. I suppose it didn't help maters being over weight.

Re: has any women out there
 

I am being very well looked after, but I don't really do rest! I am not a sit down type of person.........its really driving me nuts.

Re: has any women out there
 

Needs must Romps it is only for a few weeks, you have had a major operation so take it easy.

Re: has any women out there
 

The fussings ok for the first few weeks but then it starts to get on yer nerves and end up wanting to commit a murder.

Re: has any women out there
 

Come on Anne it must be niced to be looked after;)

Re: has any women out there
 

Hubby and daughter wouldnt let me do a thing when i came home, it was ok at first but then started to drive me nuts, I started getting back into it just by simply washing a couple of pots. wasnt much but made me feel better lol..
I wasnt even allowed to drive but only because the insurance would have been void if id have had an accident ..
Both of you take it easy and try not to hurry back to normal, recovery is slow. Even now my scar still feels a little tender ,Im ok its just a way of telling me to take it easy.

Re: has any women out there
