appendicitis recovery time surgery

I was just wondering what type of surgery they will need to do, how long the recovery time and hospital stay would be because Im only a junior in high school and I want to know how long I would need to be out of school.

This stage of pregnancy, the end of the 1st trimester, is apparently the safest time for surgery. The baby is mature enough to handle the drugs without undue effects and yet the uterus is still small enough not to impede the surgery or get in the way. Just goes to show, there is such thing as chronic appendicitis! THough it seems gastro doctors don't believe in it.

Hi everyone, A bit of background...I have a 7-8cm cyst on my left ovary. CA125 of 10, ultrasound shows no sign of a malignancy, so they are not too concerned about that. Dr. I was seeing wasn't confident in doing a cyst this size laparoscopically so he referred me to another Dr who is apparently an "expert" in removing large cysts like this by "bagging" it and removing it that way through the tiny incision instead of having open surgery.

Hey Everyone! I'm new to this whole forum thing, but I thought I'd give it a try. I was just wondering for those of you who've had surgery, how long your recovery has been? I just recently had the surgery and I'm having a hard time dealing with the after math. I am here to find some friends to talk to who are going through the same thing as me. Please feel free to talk with me anytime.

2. What can I do to prepare before and after the surgery to help witht the recovery process. 3. May I still be excercising such as 1 hr. walks and situps/crunches before the surgery? and 4. Are there any special bands or wraps such as a girdle to help keep my organs in and my body in shape?

I am to have decompression surgery on Tuesday. General advice as to what to expect during recovery time? My NS said a minimum of a month of no driving, anything, so I am hoping this will help aid in my recovery. I only have a 5mm prolapse, but very high symptomatically. I was given a 50/50 chance of good outcome. I have nothing but time to lose. What is your opinion??

I had something like that done this morning n was cuz of kidney stone surgery but was Lazer they also told me if I didn't have done I could go on previous labor at my 19 wks as whether wait to pass the stones by myself cuz of the pain n medicine

I had a vitrectomy to repair a macular hole 9 months ago and have been told that it is likely that i will develop a cataract. I have to go for a check up next week and i was wondering that if i do have a cataract how long is the recovery time,i am retired so i don't have to work ,but i do look after my 8 month old grandson while my daughter works. I have heard that you can't do any bending and lifting after a cataract operation,but not sure for how long.

How much time can I expect to be out of work after laparoscopic gallbladder surgery? I get a different answer from each person/doctor I talk to. I am a secretary and can keep from any type of lifting for whatever time I need to.

Hello, I am wanting to know the stages of recovery after retina detachment surgery. On 9/12/11 I had cryotherapy with pneumatic retinopexy due to PVD that caused a detachment. On 9/19 I returned to work (vision in the good eye only due to the bubble in the other) On 9/28 I was in the hospital due to another detachment (same eye, different location) this time I had a scleral buckle, viterectomy, laser retinopoxy and pneumatic retinopexy.

Look at the recent posts on surgery (like the one I answered to dcorwin13). I had the bigger surgery (laparotomy) but really the only difference is that laparoscopy incisions will be smaller and should heal faster with a shorter hospital stay. Nobody heals at the same pace and the instructions/healing times doctors give are of the "one size fits all" variety. Just remember that healing WILL occur.

I am an otherwise healthy 39-year old male I would say, a bit of a hypochondriac, hence this post …Back in 2004 I had surgery for appendicitis and after my surgery the strangest thing happened….The center-outer part of my left thigh started burning.

First off, I'm so sorry this is so long but the details are important. Labor day weekend I left work early with a tummy ache and dizziness. I had some diarrhea and just couldn't shake the dizziness so I went to bed. Woke up the following morning feeling less dizzy but nauseous and still had diarrhea. By Sunday I felt ok, a little light headed but ok otherwise. Thought it was just a stomach bug. Then Mon I started having lower right quadrant pain. It hurt to sit and felt dizzy.

But the good thing is that the original pain from the appendicitis (that no one believed was appendicitis - they were still arguing even as I was going into surgery - as insisted by my OB) is completely gone after 3 long months and once I am recovered from this surgery I should be pretty fine. I'm feeling well enough to catch up on internet and mail now, so that's surely a good sign. Take care all.

s taken them a year and sometimes 2 years to recover, and the surgeon had told me that t would take me only 3 months, so the recovery has extended to 8 months as of today, and I see no signs of getting better any time soon... Thanks...

I had a lobectomy of my right upper lobe back in Nov 14 2007. Began lifting weights again last week of December. Started back at work Jan 14. I still have soreness within my ribs but not enought to prevent me for working.

now i am developing the same pain again after about 20 hours, so i want to ask can it be appendicitis even if ultrasound doesnt show it? one of my friend got operated last month, she was having the same pain but ultrasound didnt show anything even then she got operated n now is fine!

and pelvic problems. Unfortunately...I still am bloated since my surgery last week. I have read about this part of the recovery so am hoping it goes down soon. I hope you get some answers soon and something can be done to help you. God bless...

I recently had emergency surgery on the 13th for acute appendicitis. It was a laparotomy (open) surgery, and I was in the hospital until the 16th for recovery. I didn't have a bowel movement that entire time, but had one the day after I left the hospital. I was bloated in the hospital, but without pain. Now I'm extremely bloated and having TERRIBLE pains in my abdomen. It isn't pain secluded to my surgical site, but all around pain.

They told me if the didnt operate baby and i wouldnt survive another week and if they did operate there would be a small chance we could lose the baby. But within 9hrs i had surgery and babys heartrate dropped but we are both fine now. Im in alot of pain but doing fine. I didnt think my mothers day would end like this but im judt happy that baby and i are alive.
