i had lap. for gallbladder in feb.  plan on a week . use an ice pack at bedtime, wow what a help. it is required to let you know they may need to go open with your surgery, they do not want to wake you up to get permission. i am a nurse, and a big baby with pain, the ice at ten min. an hour was really great help. was doing all but lifting in a week.

Make sure you use the pressure garment. The last thing you need is a emobolism. (clot that will move through body and to heart or brain. Then you are "bye bye" forever.) The swelling will probably last a few weeks. As long as no drainage, pus, or red inflammation you should do well. Go to the docs on the scheduled follow up days and whatever you do....FOLLOW THEIR GUIDANCE. If they say, keep elevated...you do that. If they say do not walk onto flat of foot...you do that.  Trust me, listening to their expert advice will enable you to heal faster. Take care.

I just had the surgery a month ago and it took about two weeks and and half to go down.  But my stomach has not been right since then.  A friend of mine had the same thing and it took her a month for the swelling to go down.

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.

Rehab will start 2-3 days after surgery. You will go hame after about 10 days. Full recovery after about 8-10 weeks

my girlfriend had it done the recovery did suck i won't lie ithink it took couple of weeks for it to go away completely but for the most part i would say probably about up to 2weeks for most of tenderness to go away now if your talking about being able to handle them say in four play then at least a month i believe if i remember correctly cause that was ten years ago

Fluid retention?\nHave you managed to start eating and 'exercising' a bit? What does the surgeon think about this?\nHow long ago was the op done?

If you start out in top physical condition with strong abdominal muscles, recovery from abdominoplasty will be much faster. Some people return to work after two weeks, while others take three or four weeks to rest and recuperate. After surgery, exercise can help you heal better. Even people who have never exercised before should begin an exercise program to reduce swelling, lower the chance of blood clots, and tone muscles. Vigorous exercise, however, should be avoided until you can do it comfortably.

My sister actually had a PFO surgery last summer and it took a little bit (a couple of months) to feel back to normal and now she is doing great from it. Make sure to do check ups after a couple of weeks, then 2 months, and then 6 months. Check ups are really important. Good luck with everything!

My mum had this surgery and had the bandages on her hands for two weeks.  Full recovery for any surgery they say a number of months, but within 3-4 weeks generally, you can use your hand again.

No it should not take 17 months for your incision to heal. I would make an appointment with your Dr. as soon as possible. Could be something as simple as a suture that has not dissolved... Or maybe an abcess. I think that it sounds more like a suture-I had a suture that wouldnt dissolve and it was red around the area where the suture was-I felt something sticking out and pulled the suture out,a small amount of pus came out . Of course that didnt make me too happy so I made an appointment with my surgeon to make sure there wasnt an abcess-which it wasnt. Thank goodness.Please be seen by your Dr. Ask him/her questions until you get the answers that you deserve. Remember you are the one who hired them to do your surgery and the birth of your child and you have the right to know the reason it is not healing. One more thing-do not let them charge you for the visit because it is a follow-up from your surgery-it should be included. The Dr. should have taken care of this problem way before now.

I had it in both hands and both at the same time, this was done in 83 at that time they cut my hands with a scalpel and recovery was real long, it took a year to lift weights again and certain, now days, it is a piece of cake, it is done by laser, and recovery is a very short period. Once it is done, no problems, all gone and you will sleep again and your hands feel normal. depending how bad your problem is will depend on the recovery period, you will  do things real soon, but hard work might have to wait a couple months. word of advice, get it done and over with, or it will get worse, that is why mine was so bad, and my recovery so long, I just let it go way too long. I wish they had the laser when I had it done. My friend had it done recently and she was doing allot in a few weeks. Once healed, you can do anything you want. Good Luck to you.

If the surgery is done correctly, you will be fully recovered after 6 weeks.  Take it easy for the first week (take off work, sit around and do nothing).  The second through sixth week, do not overdo anything, do not lift anything over 10 pounds, do not do any strenous activity.  By the 3rd or 4th week you will be feeling pretty good, but you still need to take it easy and not overdo anything.  \n\nAs far as cost, my surgery cost $5,000 in the US but was covered by insurance and I paid a $250 deductible.  I would be very weary about a surgery like this for $100.  If that is just what you have to pay and insurance covers the rest that is one thing, but if it is just some back-alley guy cutting you open for $100 then think twice.

it gets less as the days go by. wait about 4 more days. don't forget that is like you had an operation. most of the times they have to make incisions to pulled them out, but unless you see redness, and get fever, there is no infection. perhaps they had to stitch you up, most of the times they do. ease up on the vicodin, perhaps ibuprofen would help you, in case there is inflammation. there are 800 mg of ibuprofen, ask the pharmacist.\n\ngood luck.

The coccyx or tail bone should heal like any other bone taking anywhere from a minimum of six weeks to three months.  The bone tissue is likely healed by now but the surrounding soft tissues may not.  Maybe some warm wet compresses such as a wet washcloth applied locally will provide anti-inflammatory relief.  Perform  the sit-ups to tolerance.
