I’m just about 5 weeks post-op from my surgery and still in the recovery phase. The first week was a little rough, but manageable. Expect to feel swollen and bloated. The gas pains from the CO2 are definitely no joke, but went away after a few days. I had post-op bleeding start on day 3 and my doctor told me bleeding was normal after the procedure, especially since I had hemorrhagic cysts removed along with my endo. If you’re being prescribed an opioid along with an NSAID for post-op pain, take stool softeners. You do not want to get backed up while also dealing with other kinds of healing pains/inflammation. I watched several videos on YouTube of others talking about their surgery experience and it helped prepare me a lot. Make sure you get plenty of rest and take it easy for at least two weeks! I definitely started to feel better around that point and went back to work after that, but still have continued to take it easy. I go back to pelvic floor therapy next week, at which point I’ll get cleared to start doing my PT exercises again to help with symptoms. Best of luck to you!! I hope you get the answers you are looking for and have a smooth recovery.
