I'm waiting for the surgeon to make a decision if I am a candidate for a nephropexy. I have some kidney imaging scheduled for next week. I would love to fast forward to the decision but I guess I will have to wait. If I have the surgery it will be robotic. Was your surgery robotic? I suspect some of the pain is due to the invasive nature of procedure.
I had a robotic hysterectomy last year and I remember it took about 10-14 days before I could honestly say I was feeling better and could see the end of my pain.
I wish you a speedy and full recovery.

Hi! Got my fingers crossed for a decision soon for you. Yeah I had robotic assisted, at freeman's hospital in Newcastle. Thank you for your experience with the pain I just needed to know it was normal, day 7 and some hope is found hahah. The op took about 3.5 hours, fully successful they've said, got to go home the day after with some pain meds and advice to have at least 8 weeks off, Got a phone check up in 12 weeks. Thank you very much! I wish you a speedy decision and then recovery, floating kidneys unite x
