Re: GENERAL: Laparoscopy - what side effects surprised you or did your doctor not tell you about? From: grateful mom (anonymous@obgyn.net) Wed, 2 May 2007 20:31:46 -0500 (CDT) Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Next message: em: "PREGNANCY: Could I be pregnant?" Previous message: Michelle: "GENERAL: Laparoscopy - what side effects surprised you or did your doctor not tell you about?" In reply to: Michelle: "GENERAL: Laparoscopy - what side effects surprised you or did your doctor not tell you about?" The gas pains were the worst for me. Listen to your body while recovering and take it easy if you feel the need. The only thing I can stress is keep moving after surgery as much as you can. Walk, walk and walk. Drink lots of water, no carbonated bevs and don't use a straw. Take GasX Extra Strength and a stool softener (no laxative). The gas pain that settles under your shoulder really hurts. I have had 2 laps and no bruising whatsoever. Your throat might be sore from the anasthesia. Good Luck!
