Recovery process?

Hello

So I’m booked in for my op at the end of Feb and I just want to know what the recovery is like and what to expect for the first week after the op.

What can / can’t you do in the first week? I’ve read lots of girls can barely move after and need a lot of help, has anyone experienced that?
I’ve booked a week off work and hoping that will be long enough. I work in an office so shouldn’t be a prob as I don’t do any manual labour.

Any help or advice would be great 🙂 xx

Are you having unders or overs?
Overs tend to be quicker to heal.

I had unders and for the first 3/4 days I needed someone to physically lift my back up as once I was laying down I was like an upside down turtle. Very little pain but I couldnt push myself up.

My friend had 7 days off work and was fine, I had 12 for my office job. I could have gone back earlier but your body needs time to heal. I also didnt get on well with the pain meds and antibiotics so after the 7 day course of them I needed a few extra days to recover.

Best of luck with surgery it’s all wworth it in the end!
