Turbt recovery question

K,
I think it kind of depends on how many tumors, location, and size and the anesthesia. I never had a reaction to any of my TURBS other than a bit of tiredness immediately after.
Where are you located? Did you have a local urologist do the procedure or did you go to a main Cancer or University Center that deals with lots of bladder cancer?

I don't have the results yet...My follow-up appointment isn't until next week.

Thank you...I did feel silly!!!

Thanks for the feed back...I couldn't find any info on this. I have never had surgery before outside of oral surgery. I felt pretty good the first couple of days, so I was surprised I started feeling so tired later. That is the only issue I've had with it Thank Goodness!!

I have had 7 procedures, and my reactions varied somewhat. But I have definitely felt lethargic for a few days after all of them. I have also experienced bladder spasms, and those can occur quite a while after the surgery — maybe a week or two later. Isolated spasms, not constant ones.

The main restriction I have had is not to exercise for 72 hours.

A lot of the after-effects seem to come from the anesthesia (or so it seems to me). I sometimes feel kind of muddle-headed for half a week after the procedure.

You sound pretty normal to me.
