Just had my bisalp 2 days ago. It was actually laparoscopic exploratory for endo and planned bisalp and cycstectomy but no visible endo was found, the cyst was gone, so all that was done was a minimal biopsy and bisalp.

My question - today is day 3 of recovery (surgery was Thursday at 7:30AM and lasted 1 hour) - what should my activity level be today? I’m still mostly in bed. Taking short walks across the house to the bathroom, walks out of my bedroom door onto my deck to get fresh air and stand for a few mins. But other than that, I’m pretty much in bed. Is this okay?

I’m not in a ton of pain right now, and the gas has subsided a lot, but I do feel pretty blah/tired/not myself. I’m not on any pain meds at this point. Day 1 I took oxycodone, day 2 I took 1 600mg ibuprofen, and today all I’ve taken is 6mg of 🍃 gummies.

I just don’t really know what to be doing today. My husband is taking care of me and doing all the things for me, our son, the house, our pets, so it’s not like I need to be responsible for anything. But I feel lazy.

Oh also, I need to shower but I’m scared of the water pounding on my incisions. The whole idea of it is actually really freaking me out.

Any advice or stories of your recovery is appreciated 🙏

I had my bilateral salpingectomy yesterday. It wasn't completely horrible but definitely sore and bending over or anything with my core hurts. My question is how long did everyone take off work after surgery? I was thinking of trying to go back tomorrow since I just work at the board of education at a desk but getting up and down out of bed hurts.
