Hi Louise, I’m now 6 week post op and loving them, you won’t regret it ?. The op was fine, you may be waiting around for a while at the hospital so be prepared for that. I had to be there for 11 and my op was at 14:00 then didn’t leave until 21:00. The op is around 45 minutes long, and you won’t be in pain after due to all the pain killers they will have you on. The anaesthetic may make you sick, it did with me. They send you home with loads of tablets and you’ll be in quite a bit of pain once the hospital stuff wears off. I took a week off work and pretty much did nothing as it’s quite painful to do anything but after a couple of days you start feeling quite a lot better. I was sick again from the anaesthetic 2-3 days after as well. I went back to work a week later and felt great, I started feeling a bit sore towards the end of the day though for about a week. I work in an office so I didn’t have to do much movement as your not allowed to lift anything heavy. I didn’t drive for two weeks as you’ll find it hard to change the gears ?. Your also not allowed to exercise for 6 weeks, I’ve just started again but still certain movements that I feel uncomfortable doing. Hopefully that helps a bit, If you have any questions, let me know x
