Any peas had this procedure done? Can you tell me about recovery time? We have a couple of low key events this coming weekend, and from what I've been reading, appears I'll be fine to go, but would like some *been there, done that* advice. I'm scheduled for Friday at 7 AM.
Update 7/14 - Hi ladies, thanks again for all the advice. Procedure went really smooth, I was there at 6 AM and home by 9:30 AM. Had some mild cramping right after, but after a couple of tylenol and a nap, I've felt great since! I'm hopeful for a good result.

I had mine done 10 yrs ago, so I'm sure things may be different and even better now...but my recovery included a few days of discharge and some mild cramping.
If your procedure is at 7am on Friday, you should be fine for an easy weekend. (I don't think I'd do anything too strenuous...and I'd stay out of the heat...but that's me LOL)

Slightly crampy and tired that day. I think recovering from the anesthesia was worse than recovering from the actual procedure. I felt perfectly fine the next day. One of the best things I've done for myself.

I was sore, crampy when I got home but I was fine after. I think I went to work the day after. In fact, I'm sure I did.

I went to work the next day. I had zero cramps, aches, etc.. I also just had a local anesthesia and some pain meds and Xanax to keep me calm and chill. I actually watched the procedure on the monitor.

I had it last April ('13). I felt fine the next day. I am so glad I had it done. Good luck!

Thanks ladies! I'm both excited and nervous to have the procedure done, but I have to do something.  I travel pretty extensively for work (mostly international) and have been caught off guard twice on long haul flights. Trying to clean yourself up in an airplane bathroom is pretty miserable. I'm hoping this procedure works! |

I had one but it has been quite a few years ago. I initially had some cramps when I woke up. They gave me something that knocked me back out for an hour or two. When I woke again, I was fine. I was a little tired for the rest of the day. My doctor told me that he had many patients who he couldn't get in touch with the evening of the procedure because they were out to dinner.
Good luck with your procedure. My only regret was not going ahead and having a hysterectomy. While the ablation corrected some issues, it did not help the pain I was having. Ultimately, I still had a hysterectomy.

Add me to the lists of ladies who went back to work the next day. Good luck with your procedure.

Ultimately, I still had a hysterectomy. Thanks eebud - I really wrestled with the "next step". My OB was supportive of either option, but also encouraged me to see if this would work as it's less invasive. I'm hopeful! But if a hysterectomy is needed later on, I won't be surprised. |

That was the reason my doctor also wanted to go with an ablation. It is definitely less invasive with a much shorter recovery time. For many women, it does the trick and nothing more is needed.

I was slowly crossing off my list of options before we hit the hysterectomy option. Best thing ever! I think there may have been a no heavy lifting restriction for a day or so if I remember correctly. Wish I had done it sooner. Good luck on Friday! |

I wish I was a candidate for this. I had several girlfriends who had the procedure and swear it was easy and great not having a full period. I wish you the best.

Good luck with your procedure. I am considering one as well, but I am too chicken to go through with it. Please come back on Monday and update us.

The worst part for me was recovering from anesthesia. I was training for a triathlon at the time and was running the next day in August heat...in Alabama. It really was nothing and I'm kinda of a sissy.
I think my procedure was on a Tuesday and I was back on a 12 hour shift on Thursday and Friday.
