How long did you take to recover after laporosopy? It's into 3 and a half weeks for me and I am still not great. Ive been getting dizzy/ faint and nauseous sometimes. I'm still feeling sore in my abdomen and on regular pain relief and heat packs. I contacted my gynaecologist who said everyone is different.
What's your experience?

I've had 5 operations 1 each year . I also had pain in the shoulders and left side . Was in pain for a few months but the doctor said he wouldn't sign me off after 2 weeks . So went back to work in pain and felt very alone and felt no one believed me
I've also been nauseous for the past two days. And I've never been nauseous before (other than from drinking too much as a kid) the doctor told me today that I probably just ate something bad. I feel like no one believes you when you're in pain. I have another appointment in 10 days. I guess I'll see how that goes. I 100% know what you mean though about feeling not heard or validated. I feel like a waste of life and that everyone just thinks I'm some big liar.
The last two days I woke up and it felt like my vision was off and I could see anything properly kind of like I was dizzy.
So sorry to hear donnajeantaylor. I've been feeling so dizzy and nauseous the past few days- I've seen a doctor and now getting blood tests. I was reluctant to visit dr as I feel I'm not heard or validated- can you see another dr? I'm not sure how it works in USA?
I had mine March 11th. The pain seems to be just getting worse. My doctor basically just told me to deal with it. As if he doesn't believe me.
I was feeling rough for the first week, then I was able to move around better. I definitely didn't feel like myself again until about 3 weeks later
