Guest guest Posted January 20, 2003 Report Share Posted January 20, 2003 Angie Your dr will only insert the balloon if he finds and cuts a septum. It is supposed to prevent scarring and to help the uterus heal properly - but not all drs use it. Regardless of whether he cuts anything or not, I don't think you can go to work the day of your surgery (unless surgery is later and you go to work 1st). They will fill your abdomen with gas, and the gas will be a bit painful as it dissipates. Also, the incisions will be a bit painful and black and blue for a couple days. Of course, here I'm saying all this and I've not even gone thru it yet! Tomorrow's my day. My dr. said most ppl feel fine after two days, to return to work. If he uses a balloon on me (I'm either SU or BU, just like you), he will insert it and I go back 7 days later to get it removed. He said it's possible it will fall out before then, and if it does, not to worry about it. Apparently since the end of the balloon is external, it's not the most comfortable thing in the world, so I'm hoping for it to fall out early! Altho I have heard you can't feel the part that is in your uterus. Good luck on your upcoming surgery! Tina 31, 2 m/c Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
