How long is the recovery from appendicites?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Depends on treatment: Your recovery depends on many issues. Was this perforated appendicitis with abscess, or uncomplicated appendicitis treated by laparoscopic appendectomy? Most people feel better within 48-72h after laparoscopic surgery, and are back to usual activities in 7-10 days.

1-2 weeks: This is a typical recovery time from a laparoscopic appendix removal for uncomplicated appendicitis.
