Are Most People's Post-ops More Than A Month After Surgery?
A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭

I was told by my surgeon's medical assistant that most endometriosis excision post-ops are in 6-8 weeks. This seems like an extremely long time to me. What have other women's experiences been?

That does seem like a long time to wait post op. My surgery post ops have always been 2 weeks. Maybe they’re more booked than other hospitals?

Mine is 3 weeks and I was given the option of 2-3 weeks. I was told by another dr it takes a week or 2 for the surgery dictation to be completed and the dr to wrap everything up in their end.

Yup mine was about two-three months later. I think they want to wait for your body to "heal" so that they can see if you're still experiencing symptoms. I was suuuuper inflamed afterward. I looked six months pregnant immediately afterward because I don't do well with inflammation. Neither does my mom. But about two months later within a week, maybe by the time everything inside and my scars healed up, I shrunk down. Lost 15 pounds in two weeks and slimmed right down.
