If anyone has had an appendectomy before how long was your recovery? I’m getting so frustrated with not being able to do anything
I had my appendix removed by laparoscopy on Wednesday and was home the following day. I initially felt very bruised all over the abdomen and quite painful at the incision sites. This is improving but I’m still having quite a lot of pain where the appendix used to be.
I’m a stay at home mum to a 21 month old and 14 week old. I fortunately have my mum staying to help but I’m finding it so hard not being able to look after them properly.
How long did it take you to be pain free and how long to get back to normal activities? The doctors were quite vague when I asked.
