How long does it take to heal from appendix surgery?

Answer 1

It depends on what type of surgery they are going to use to remove the appendix. If they do it via laproscopic surgery, her recovery time will be much quicker than actually having to cut her open and remove it. Recovery time for a laproscopic surgery is between 2-3 weeks, it also depends on how your mother comes out of surgery (i.e. any infections, complications). She should not be in the hospital for more than 2-3 days as long as the surgery goes well.

Good luck.
