JB,
My doc had to do alot of work during my last lap. He did not remove an
ovary, but spent several hours removing implants. It took me almost a
month before the pain truly subsided. It is certainly worth talking to
your doc about to be sure there are no complications, but don't be too
put out if he thinks you need a little more time to heal. If the pain
continues make another appointment to go in and talk with him again.
