A week sounds a bit quick for your line of work. Admitted I never read up on laparoscopy, so im a bit out of my depth here. You may get a different answer if you ask about full contact sports/martial arts?
Good luck :)
Hi, I am 7 days post laproscopic surgery to remove a cyst from left ovary. I've been signed off for 2 weeks and certainly don't feel well enough to return to work yet and my job is not strenuous! I can't even look after my children (I have a very heavy baby!) and have had to call on a lot of help! I know everyones different, but don't rush things especially with your job! Good luck
:-)
