Laparoscopy - feeling rough

Just had a laparoscopy on Monday, they removed a dermoid cyst and dealt with some adhesions, thankfully no endo. I feel absolutely crap - exhausted, weak, nausea, no appetite. Is this normal? I thought a laparoscopy meant a short recovery time, anyone got any experience of this?

Ive had 3 and had a really bad time after each one!! Stayed in hospital for 2 weeks with the 1st but that was a bad reaction and dangerously low blood pressure.

Every time I have an anesthetic My blood pressure plummets and I need medication to bring it up to acceptable levels.

It is supposed to be less recovery time and it is definately less invasive but it is still surgery and still an anesthetic, but if you still fell like it in a few days a trip to the doc is probably needed.
