Getting a bit freaked out by upcoming laparoscopy :(

[nothing2lose]

Thanks everyone I might even ring the nurse to confirm what she said. I'm wondering if they will keep me in overnight?? I am not sure what time the surgery is other than it is in the afternoon. I guess I will find out soon enough !

I have several wheat bags and I have organised for DD to stay home from school with me (DP can't) the next day because I figure two hours is a big whack of general anaesthetic and I might need someone with me the first 24 hours or so.

I have arranged just under two weeks off work. I drive an hour or more each way in heavy traffic so I need to be okay for that.

Lenny, you just reminded me...I had a lap for my gall bladder too...but I was in hospital for a few days after, and it was 12/13 years ago so I don't remember much

Anney -I've had five egg retrievals and three other surgeries (inc gall bladder), but this one has spooked me. Partly, if I'm honest, because I am hoping they find an "answer" to my infertility and if they don't, well.... You know....

I think the ovary repositioning is scaring me a bit. It sounds uncomfortable my luck though, I will have absolutely no endo and everything will be totally normal and it will be all for nothing

Eta - I'm also having trouble getting DP to understand that I might be out of commission for a few days. I think he is so used to me having IVF procedures (which are comparatively minor), and he assumes I'll be okay within a day or so.
