    Hi, I’m 38 and had the surgery done end of March this year.  I thought I would be fine after six weeks but like others on here it really did take me until week 10 to feel ok again.

    It is a major operation and just need to take the advice of the medical staff and listen to your body.

    I went back to work after the full 12 weeks.

    I suppose everyone is different but just remember it is a major operation and a few extra weeks of rest can really help with all the internal healing. I still have some stitches remaining 😬
