Hi. Just wanted to say good luck with the lap! I was just like you when
I had mine. I was so worried that they wouldn't find anything and then
what would I do!! My doctor didn't even think she'd find anything. But
they did find endo, so I knew where the pain was coming from. The lap
itself isn't bad at all. My recovery time was a little longer b/c I had
my appendix taken out too. My appendix was covered in adhesions, so she
just took that out to prevent any problems in the future!! One
suggestion I have for you is to WALK!!! You will have a lot of gas, and
laying around doesn't help that gas any. I laid around for 2 days and
my gas wouldn't leave! If you're not in too much pain after surgery,
walk around some and rest and do it again! :-) If you need someone to
talk to, feel free to email me arowland@triad.rr.com
