Thanks for your reply. I am having it to remove an ovarian cyst this
time, but the last time (10 years ago) was to diagnose and treat
endometriosis. I think I will allow at least a week because the last
time there were complications (maybe if I plan for that, it won't
actually happen this time). I always heal slower than normal for some
reason also. Thanks for sharing your experience.
