It is normal to be scared. I have had three surgeries and I was scared
before all of them.
The important think to remember is a lap is a very simple procedure. You
won't be in a whole lot of pain and in the end you will be really glad
you did it.
All that will happen is you will go to sleep and wake up, nothing scary
about that at all.
Recovery is simple too, just relax and be thankful that you will be free
of Endo!!!!! That is a reson to celebrate!!!
I will say a prayer for you :)
