i am 6 weeks post op from rectocele ,feeling completely wiped out ,had bloods checked all ok ,dr said it can still be after effects of surgery (really) ,i need my energy levels back as i am not fit for anything at the moment
Hi Emma, you wont be fit for much for months. It can take up to a year to recover. Its a really difficult, major surgery to get over. just rest as much as you can, and try not to worry too much about getting back into things.
thanks laura , i cant believe it takes so long ,maybe i am being too ambitious thinking i should be back to full fitness ,i am going to start taking some vitamins to see if this helps ,i feel i should be doing normal stuff by now
Vitamins will only help if you are short of them. Don’t try to push yourself too much, the stitches deep in your tissues are still there and you are still healing. You don’t want the repair to fail, mine did, but I will manage it, couldn’t go through with it again. I ended up with nerve damage after the op.
