Getting Back To Normal After A Tubal Reversal Surgery

A patient of Dr. Monteith and Tubal Reversal Center Message Board Member, hopeful2009, asks, "I had my reversal on July 15th. My incision is healing great, I feel good, just some mild pulling sensations when I move a certain way. I was wondering when I can start walking on my treadmill again?" Although everyone recovers at a different rate, the majority of patients are able to return to most of their normal activities within a week to ten days after their tubal reversal surgery. The staff in Chapel Hill advises that heavy lifting, pushing, or pulling of more than 15 pounds should be avoided for 4 weeks, but you may resume other activities of daily living, as you are comfortable doing so. Walking short distances is not only okay, but it will help you feel back to normal more quickly in most cases and will help to decrease complications associated with inactivity after surgery. You may resume intercourse and trying to conceive when you feel completely recovered from having your tubes untied.
