It's here- laparoscopy day

[WithAllIntenseAndPurposes]

Just feeling scared now
Would anyone like to share their honest experiences? Pain when you wake in recovery? Pain after? How long until you were driving/exercising/working ?

Oh I hope it goes well for you! Currently waiting myself for one (though they’ve said when they do it, it might actually turn to a laparotomy depending on what they see), no idea of the waiting list here.
Can I ask how long from seeing the consultant with a “yes we’re going to do surgery” and getting a date it was?

I had a lap and dye years ago now. The procedure was fairly quick. I was out once I'd recovered and had some tea and toast (which I needed!). I was fine, a bit bloated and farty because of the gas, but otherwise little real pain.

It did change my belly button shape though...

Pink I had my first appointment in November they said they discussed surgery and was put on the list
