It will return to the normal size 95% of the time. It does take 4-10 weeks, depending on your healing abilities.

These are simple polyps that normally removed at sigmoidoscopy or colonoscopy by snaring. I agree with the other answer which says 6 months and then a year follow up, at which point your colon will be imaged, normally with a colonoscope just to ensure there are no further polyps devleloping.\n\nDo not take the advice to speak to an oncologist! It is not cancer! If you felt the need to speak to anyone, a general surgeon or gastroenterologist would be more appropriate.

If 4 years of medication & various doctors have not cured you of PND, then it is probably wise to seek surgery.\n\nDepending on your case, a polypectomy is relatively easy with little or no post-op complications (including your recovery from anaesthesia).\n\nIt is best that you go to a trusted ENT surgeon, talk to him/her about the pros and cons of the op, discuss the pre-op requirements as well as the post-op care before you decide on anything. Also, find out the success rate of that particular surgeon, as well as the success rate of the op in curing PND.

I had a small tear in my medial meniscus repaired earlier this year. It had been painful for a couple of years, especially if I turned on my knee, or landed at all heavily on it. The operation itself was no bother at all.\n\nI went to the Day Surgery at about noon, went to the theatre at about 3.30, general anaesthetic, woke up at about 4.45, and was fine to leave the hospital by 6.00.\n\nThey made 3 small holes in my knee, did the job and got out again - it's wonderful, this microsurgery. I was on crutches for about 3 days, and using a single crutch / stick for about 10 days more.  It was a bit sore afterwards, but not really painful.  I had a couple of stitches in each scar, which the nurse took out after 2 weeks. \n\nI was back able to use the gym after about a month, and the repair has made a real difference. It's not like new, (they're very old knees anyway!) but it's much better than it was before the operation.

Yes, perfectly normal... We tell patients 7-10 days. But, they can and do come out earlier sometimes. No biggie.... Just keep the extraction site clean (irrigate with warm salt water rinses) and you'll be fine! Your bleeding has stopped and your clot has taken hold by now, your save from dry sockets at this point in time. \n\nMean time.. enjoy that food!

How soon post-op? one or two days it is always the same the five Ws (wind,wound,water,walking,wonder drugs).\n\nAfter a 5-7days maybe inflammation from tissue necrosis or an abscess.

It was really cool. Out of all the surgeries I had, not much pain at all. The doctor did the "key-hole" technique where they cut down and around the nipple, remove the excess tissue, then lift everything up and close. It was an almost 6 hr surgery and he removed 9 lbs. I woke up with an IV, a PCA (pain control pump) and a catheter. I had 2 drains, which he took out before I was discharged. It sounds very technical, but it was not bad. I had to stay wrapped with the ace wrap for over 6 weeks. I went back to work on the 3rd week. I felt great. And, after suffering with large, saggy breasts my whole life ( the final size was a 54i before surgery) i was very pleased to be a perky 48B. If you have any questions, feel free to email me. Best of luck to you.

you can go back to limited activity within 3 to 5 days.\nyou can go back to full activity within one week.\nthis answer is conditional with no other problem coming along the way after the operation,cause any problem delays recovery.

It depends on what they use and how much. I've seen people come awake 10-15 minutes after an operation. I've also seen them keep a friend under for 8 days. This was so he wouldn't move and start internal bleeding again. You need to talk with the doctor about this.

after surgery take a rest to regain your strength,follow doctors orders and you'll be as good as new, as soon as possible.anyways you said youre healthy.

This is strictly a decision made by the physician in charge. I have seen recovery after 40 minutes, but most do not go beyond 20-30 minutes with a straight line.

It takes one day to recover for each time zone you went through. Best thing is to take a tranquilizer... maybe half of one. It may be enough to get you to sleep. Don't take a sleeping pill. They'll knock you out for eight hours.

Hate to tell you this, but normal recovery takes 6 months to one year.  Sorry!  Hope you feel better.

I had a colonoscopy this year and I beleive it took about 30 mins,I cannot be sure about this because of the medication.....it was not uncomfortable and there was no after effects,good luck with the results.

Surgery. And a long recovery period. :(

After one week you should have had more recovery than you have had.  There is a risk of infection with any invasive procedure but from what you say, it doesn't sound like it.  I'm sure you'll mention this when you hear from the doctor and you'll have your answer.
