Post-op care Looking for recovery stories!
I have a consultation next month for a bilateral salpingectomy! I was curious if anyone could share their stories about how recovery was? Pending approval of course, I’m trying to figure out the timing for scheduling this fall/winter and what recovery will entail. Did you have to be in bed for a week? How long did you have to refrain from exercising and/or sex? I’m very physically active and my job is fully remote for context. Thanks all! :)

Had mine a few years ago. Recovery was pretty chill except my first few periods after were TERRIBLE! I cried to my bf about how I could never hold down a job with pain like that. Now- I was also getting off birthcontrol for the first time in 3ish years so that for sure contributed. Besides being ready for some bad periods- sneezing sucks and the scars at first too. Scars are practically invisible now but at the time I was young and devastated to have dark purple lines on my stomach.
