Is normal to feel pain around the incision site,when moving, walking, and, especially after long periods of standing.
Full recovery is usually achieved within three weeks following the surgery.
If you noticed that the pain is getting worse over time, with redness at your incision site, consult your surgeon.
It's good to know that your bowel movements are regular (that means that you are free of adhesions that very often develop after surgery causing bowel obstruction with diffuse crampy abdominal pain and irregular bowel movements).
Due to blood loss and energy needed for healing, your body reacts with lightheadness and dizziness, and extreme feeling of tiredness.
If these spells become very often, contact your physician.

I, too just had my appendix removed and have been experiencing dizzy spells. I had the surgery a week ago, hardly any pain left and regular bowel movements, but the dizziness was concerning. Blood pressure is normal as well. The doctor's office wasn't concerned, but it is very troublesome!

Hi Lyn,

I am having the same experience after my appendix was removed. Going on week 3 now and I have had the dizziness/light headednesss since 1.5 weeks. My GP was not too concerened either & didn't take my blood pressure but my pharmacist friend mentioned the healing process may have resulted in low iron levels or some other change to my blood composition.

Did the light headedness go away i.e. how many weeks. Did you find something that made it better i.e. supplements, etc ....

Thanks,

Derek
