It took me a good 10 weeks because I did far too much too early. Rather than follow the advice of the Drs and everyone around me I over did everything and slowed my healing down considerably. I also stopped taking pain killers immediately when I got home except for night when I knocked myself out on Panadine forte - but I had more than the surgery pain to deal with

Learn from my lesson hun, be gentle and take it slow don't try to rush things and accept that you have had MAJOR abdominal surgery and that your body NEEDS time to recover. You cannot hurry it up and the more you do the slower it will heal.

They say 6-8 weeks so allow yourself that time at the very least.
