Re: I Had My Lap! In pain... was: Re: 1st Laparascopy tomorrow morning. Scared and questions... Please HelpFrom: CRB (anonymous@obgyn.net)Sat Jul 3 20:42:49 2004
I am so glad you are ok. You are nauseous because of the med they put you to sleep with. It will go away in a day or so. The only thing you should worry about right now is healing. There is plenty of time to worry later. I would call you DR and ask to take a bath. I had to wait a week. So take care, rest, and don't worry about the furture. Only time will tell. Everyone is different. I wish you well and I am glad things went well. Consuelo At Sat, 3 Jul 2004, Megan wrote: > >Hi everyone! >Thanks for all the words of encouragement.
