Well, I only took a week to recover from my laparoscopy but i didnt have anything removed during that surgery. I dont think it should be that bad on the stairs either. I lived in an upstairs apartment and did just fine after staying with a friend for a few nights, but everyone is different. Do be wary of sitting for long periods of time and pushing yourself too hard. Hope maybe i helped a lil bit. --- Becky Tellier <anonymous@obgyn.net> wrote: >
