2 month post lap fatigue - normal?

Question

Hi everyone,

I’m now a couple days off being 2 months post lap surgery. This was my first lap and active stage 3 endo was found, as well as having an endometrioma drained. 

I also had a Mirena Coil fitted during my lap and have been prescribed Dienogest to tackle the endo while I wait to see a specialist for further treatment.

Before my lap I was told to expect recovery to take around 3 weeks, I was then given a 6 week sick note (I’m in the UK with an active job) and have had to extend it as I’m just so fatigued.

I’ve tried to remain as active as I can during my recovery (walks, an odd stretch yoga) but I’m still so tired in myself I’m struggling to walk any more than 15minutes at one time and my pace is so slow! I’ve also had bloods done less than a year ago and nothing came up as an issue.

Anyone else had a similar situation/any advice? I expected to be back to somewhat normality at this point!!

Thanks in advance :)
