How long does it take to recover from an laparoscopic appendectomy?

Answer 1

it depends on many variables, from what kind of shape you are in to where your lap is done. Is it for a rule out (exploritory) or i it to remove a fibroriod, organ or tumor? as the procedure cuts through muscle it can take a bit to get back to full range of activity, but usually within a few days you are feeling better and after a week pretty normal, and by two weeks or so close to normal. but it does depend on what is done.

Answer 2

I had my appendix out on my birthday:( I was instructed to return to work in two weeks, but asked for approval to come back in a week because I sit mostly and plus, I need the money! I thought I'd be okay, but we had a fire drill first period and I had to walk all the way to the parkinglot and stand for about twenty minutes. I've been in pain all day since then. Take my advice, if you can afford to rest for two weeks, do it!!!

Answer 3

The procedure usually takes about 30 to 45 minutes and the average healing time of a laproscopic surgery is about one week. After a week or so, you should be able to return to your normal activities. If complications occur, it may take an additional week or two to return to work.

Answer 4

Laparoscopic surgery is a modern surgical technique in which operations in the abdomen are performed through very small incisions. Laparoscopic surgery takes around 3-4 hours to perform. Patients are discharged home within 1-2 days, and can return to work within 10-14 days after surgery.

Answer 5

Laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery reduces the recovery time for most weight loss patients compared to more invasive weight loss surgery. Patients are generally up walking within 24 hours post surgery. The patient may be discharged from the hospital on the second day post operative, as soon as a tolerance to a liquid diet is noted along with the return of proper bowel function. The patient will return for a post surgery exam about 10 days post operatively. The drain may be removed at this exam if there are no apparent complications. Solid food may be introduced after about four weeks.
