Feeling not quite right.

Hi
Im starting my third post op week. My surgery was done with the Davinci and I kept my ovaries. Had my 2 week post op on Friday. I learned my surgery was a lot more extensive than I knew. Adhesions, a ton of endometriosis and a uterous the size of a 16 week pregnancy. Life before with all that was aweful. I have different kinds of pain, all normal according to the Dr. The pain has gotten much better but I just don't "feel" like myself. Its hard to explain. I think im a little depressed. I am not used to being home from work and I dont like it. I thought I could go back to work but dr says no due to the extensivness of the surgery. Does anyone else feel not quite right????

I didnt start to feel like myself until today. This is day 23 for me. Give yourself some time to heal. This was a tough surgery. You will start to feel like yourself soon. As far as work I completely understand. I thought I would heal super quickly and be back in the office in 3 weeks. Mr. Dr. is making me take the full 6 weeks. Thank God because I am totally not ready.

Hang in there. You will start to feel better soon. Take this time to catch up on movies, books and some much needed sleep.

Thank you!!

I'm at my abdom hyst post op 3 week mark tomorrow and totally understand how you feel. Some days are wonderful and some days I can't keep my eyes open. I don't feel like myself yet either. i've also been told it'll just take some time. Hope you feel better soon.
