Recovery time HELP needed!!!
How long will I need to be out of work for a tlh with bilateral salpingectomy with bladder sling, dont know my accronyms for these yet.
My Dr. and I had discussed the time for TLH, he said about 2 weeks for that. Then he decided to do the bladder sling, and we never talked about the time off being any longer. Everything I find online it says 6 to 8 weeks.
How is the recovery for doing all of this together?
Any responses would be so helpful. Than you!!!

Michelle,
My surgery was 8 years ago and I was told by the doctor that I should plan on being out of work for six weeks. It will probably depend on the type of surgery, incision, the type of job you have, etc., but I recommend you ask your doctor his plan for your recovery.

Hi Michelle
Other women here have also said six weeks with the bladder sling. Plan to take as much time as you're allowed from work. You may find that you feel more tired than you expect to be, and it would be so good for you to know you have the time off already arranged and not have to worry.

Recovery time HELP needed!!!
I am 5 weeks out. I had the sling plus lots of repairs and I told my that I wanted him to write me out of work for 10 weeks. He had a good laugh and said by week 6 I would be back to normal. Well, I don't think that is quite true and he did say it would be 3-6 months for my energy level to return.
I feel really good but still get tired.
This morning I could hardly get out of bed I was so tired. Maybe it was loosing 1 hour this weekend but I am so pooped today and I really have felt pretty energetic the entire time, but sometimes your body just hits a wall and there isn't a thing you can do about it.
