Need help following Laparoscopy

[Scorpio8]

Hi

Yesterday I went in had laparoscopy and while I feel sore. It was meant to be a cyst from left ovary but it was the tube that was the problem and why I wasn't conceiving. I am not really feeling too bad at the moment. I am finding it hard to get in and out of bed.
But what is annoying me more is I have opened my bowels since Sunday. Feel like I do have a lot of wind. Trying everything to make me go.

I actually woke up feeling a little out and got back to the ward. I really wasn't that bad after nurse took me toilet and back to bed. I had toast and not long after went home.

Any advice?

So they remove the tube but don't really know much until follow up appointment.

Does it take a few days for pain to set it. I thought would be more painful.

Your post is a little confusing, are you in more pain than you thought you'd be?

Peppermint tea helps with the wind.

It took a good 2 weeks to feel better after mine and dreadful tiredness, I needed an afternoon doze most days.

Think wrote it better on women's health. I am wondering if I meant to be in more pain or is this normal feeling windy.

It's normally to be windy as that's how they perform the op, they blow you up so they can see what they're doing. If you're not in pain that's a good thing.

Yes I was really windy after mine. Ibs tablets helped and peppermint tea

Thanks

I had zero stomach pain after my laparoscopy and I wasn't even taking the pain medication they gave me, I also wondered if it was normal (especially after the massive bruise on my stomach). The shoulder pain when I lay down was agony though, had to sleep sitting up for a few days.

During Laparoscopy, the abdomen if filled with an inert gas CO2 which will gradually deflate naturally through your tissues. So if you are feeling bloated that will be why.

A surgeon explained this to me when I worked in theatres over 20 years ago as a circulating nurse.

They have to inflate the abdomen to allow the organs to become visible on the screen.

I remembered the technicians shouting "gas on" to alert the surgeons that the abdomen is inflating and then the technician would make the surgeons do the river dance with the diathermy pedals!

It's the gas co2. I had horrific pain in my shoulders for a good week was told it was the gas releasing itself. Peppermint tea is supposed to help.

I also was terribly constipated and when I did eventually go for a no. 2 I sat on the toilet for over an hour waiting for it to come out - it made me pull a pile!!!

Oh wow,

I still can't go it's driving me mad. I have fibromyalgia so use to pain everywhere. I can definitely feeling pain today.

Hi,

I am still very constipated and starting to feel sick. I have been but just not feel right with my stomach. Keeping me up in the time and feeling uncomfortable all day. Trying to eat healthy too

Another question I have two weeks holiday just wondering if anyone took 3 weeks off. I have fibromyalgia and in constant pain already and as I work in retail just thinking it might be best to get sick note.
I do feel a lot better but it's just my stomach and lower back is killing me.

Any advice
