Depends how much they find and remove etc. My last one took a month or so to recover due to the extent of endo they found.

I had my lap done on the thursday and went back to work the following monday. The second lap was more extensive asi had parts of my intestines surgically removed. Were back at work after 13 days. It all depends on what they find during the lap. When are you going for a lap?

after a week, i went back way way too soon though! I was advised to take 2 - 3 weeks off, but if i wanted to keep my job, that totally wasn't an option! Very tiring!!
