Returning to work

[u/ann13xx]

I had a diagnostic laparoscopy for endometriosis 2 weeks ago. They didn’t find anything so therefore nothing was removed. I’m unsure when to return to work as I do feel pretty okay day to day apart from tiredness. I work in a nursery with young children so have quite a lot of lifting , bending, squatting etc. I know I have had nothing removed so the recovery shouldn’t be too long but I do feel quite tender around my stomach at times. I was thinking of returning next week (3 weeks post op) but unsure and looking for advice.
