When do you return to work after having your opening dialated

I've not had a dialation since being post-op, but I'd had quite a few in the years prior to surgery. I was always able to return to work the following day. I believe it is the same post-op as it is pre-op. Hope this helps.

After my husband's first dilatation he stayed home all day and returned to work the next morning. The second one was done at 7am and he went back to work about 2:30p. I tried to talk him out of going, but he went and made the day. Try to plan on being out all day. Good luck.

I've had this done 3 times Post Op and always returned to work the next day. You could probably go back in the afternoon if it was an AM appointment but I am usually a little sleepy afterwards so I wait .

With mine, it was scheduled for 12 noon. I went to work that morning, took off to go the the hospital, had it done and went home. Was back to work the next day. The hospital required that I not drive after the procedure due to the sedatives they give you, so take that into consideration.
