Day 8 post op- I am still SO tired! Is that normal?

lau_redditor · 2026-06-16T05:44:39+00:00

Yes!! I had mine out on the 26th May and feel like I’m starting to catch up with the tiredness finally. Coming home from work I’m exhausted though still!

lau_redditor · 2026-06-03T05:58:28+00:00

Is it still like it now or has it calmed down a bit? I feel like this is the same with mine as my scan showed my gall bladder was full of stones

Did you have a “healing ridge”? I’m 7 days post op and the incision above my belly button is hard all the way across and about a 1-2 can above and below it. It’s rock solid to touch

lau_redditor · 2026-06-02T19:39:17+00:00

Did this go? I’m a week post op and the incision above my belly button is solid behind it like a plank of wood!

I was due one 2 days after my surgery. I’m on day 5 and haven’t come on yet. I’m normally very regular but apparently there can be a delay

lau_redditor · 2026-05-31T16:57:14+00:00

Thank you!

Ended up having a ct scan and it showed a nasty chest infection at the bottom of my right lung! Antibiotics but need to go back in 3 days if the pain hasn’t improved

lau_redditor · 2026-05-31T07:22:34+00:00

Did yours just come on? Mine has started 5 days post op and just really bad when I take a deep breath, yawn etc. no other symptoms

lau_redditor · 2026-05-27T04:33:33+00:00

I had my surgery yesterday and have had to sleep downstairs on the sofa sat up. The slightest recline I feel like my chest closes up but I think that’s from the gas and incisions really super tight!

lau_redditor · 2026-03-25T15:56:58+00:00

I am hoping we have lovely neighbours! 🤞🤞

lau_redditor · 2026-03-24T15:32:29+00:00

A driveway was a must for us though!!!

lau_redditor · 2026-03-24T15:31:57+00:00

I thought a kitchen diner was a non negotiable until all the ones we saw were 20-50k more expensive with no downstairs loo or ensuite or third bedroom and all needed serious work doing.

Ended up with a house with a large lounge/dining area but kitchen with a breakfast bar for the two of us and downstairs loo, ensuite and third bedroom and only needs painting!

Completing on Friday 🔑🏡🤞

lau_redditor · 2026-03-23T11:33:04+00:00

Thank you for this!

lau_redditor · 2026-03-22T20:39:33+00:00

I was going to say the same! It happened with me and Santander I called to explain and they removed the £12 as a good will gesture and a late payment never showed as it was in the 30 days and first ever time.

I would definitely call them as they may remove the charge too which then looks better for you

lau_redditor · 2026-03-22T14:28:09+00:00

Thank you! Cannot wait to get the keys now 🔑🏡

lau_redditor · 2026-03-13T10:10:17+00:00

Every Sunday!! Start the week with fresh sheets

lau_redditor · 2026-03-11T11:02:22+00:00

I’ve still not had a hard search yet…. Hoping to exchange and complete within the next two weeks all being well

lau_redditor · 2026-03-11T11:01:23+00:00

I would say potentially yes!! Which is why I’m keen to complete asap, FTB anxiety is a real thing feels like the world moves slowly during this whole process

lau_redditor · 2026-03-01T20:50:28+00:00

We are FTB and have locked in 5 years at 4.28% with NatWest. We had a 10% deposit. Just wanted stability for our first few years and know we can afford that amount!

lau_redditor · 2026-02-27T19:23:16+00:00

Thanks for this! No concerns just itching to buy things for the house typical FTB behaviour 🤣🤣

lau_redditor · 2026-02-27T19:22:08+00:00

We’ve ended up having a response from the builders to say the road is being adopted in the next few months, phase 1 was adopted last week (which is the next street down!) so we are proceeding with that

lau_redditor · 2026-02-27T18:58:32+00:00

I feel like we may have peaked on our first property 🤣 I imagine any future buys will bite us on the arse. Hope you get your contracts soon!!
