Rectocele recovery time?

[Paperdolly]

Hi all. I’m to shortly have the day surgery for a rectocele prolapse. I’m interested in the recovery time as I have a seated occupation and think I could return to work in a short time. What is your experience of recovery time from this please?

Can't help you on the actual op, as I haven't had it (although following with interest as I also have a r prolapse but v mild... so far). However I recently had a small gynae ion under a general anaesthetic and the recovery from the GA was far more brutal than I expected. I felt fine within 36 hours for the pain but felt woozy and wrong for a week with the after effects. I didn't feel safe to drive until 9 days after. I went back to work after 5 days (also seated desk job) but the first day was too soon and it gave me a migraine.

Anyone else 🤷‍♀️?

Hi I am 7 days post op and my pain and bleeding has been minimal . I have tried to rest as much as possible which is pretty easy for me as my youngest is 12 years old .i will be returning to work in two weeks and feel I should be ok by then although i have a very active busy job
