Barbara,
Haven't you every heard the phrase, "The only silly question is the one
never asked." You shouldn't put someone down for asking a question.
There are probably lots of women with the same concern.

>why would they give you antibiotics after a lap? it's just like any other surgery. after you get home (because it is out-patient), get lots of rest, change your bandages, and take pain meds. my doctor gave me codine if i neede it. i think i took two. i also had my stitches out 4 days later. i have no scar, and you would never know i had surgery. asking if you need antibiotics is a silly question.
