Morning ladies, I had my laparoscopy surgery on Sunday had my Edno treated and my womb and bowel separated as they had stuck together I have been signed off from work for one week, i can't see myself being fit for work on Monday apart the fact that I can't fit in any of my trousers due to the swelling I'm still in a lot of pain and can't stand for longer than 20 mins at a time and I'm knackered!!! I have been researching but it looks like a week is the general timescale. Can I have your experiences because I can't see that this is right 😊

    My first surgery (2014), I didn't go back to work for 3 weeks because of the pain, swelling, and my general inability to do anything.

    My second surgery (2016), it was 2 weeks and boy was I ready to go!  

    But my doctor wouldn't even allow me to drive unti the 2-week mark for both surgeries.
