Returning to work after a ovarian cyst removal

Posted , 4 users are following.

I am post six weeks from having open surgery from having a ovarian cyst removed and my right ovary. I am looking to return to work next week part time under 16 hours on light duties I work as a care assistant in the community and I have been driving for two weeks. I am really nervous what are people's experiences in returning to work after this surgery

    I was fine too just take it easy and don't over do it cause your body will let u know and good luck

    I work in a care home and had the same op. I’m not planning on going back for at least 8-12 weeks.

    If you feel ready and your GP/surgeon agrees, go for it 😀
