    When I had my 2nd lot of Endo removed they also did dye studies, and I felt a lot worse after the 2nd. I quite vividly remember dry retching in my mum's flower bed LOL. It was a definite 2 week recovery.

    Def what Anney said...lap is just a term for the type of surgery, so doesn't explain exactly what happens. I was told I'd be kept in overnight, but ended up being there for 7 nights (then back for another two nights for observation a few days later). Looking back, of course I had a long recovery after all that!

    My second lap was just day surgery and the recovery was a lot quicker...a few days.

    You might not know til after the op. Any chance DP can get time off to look after you if you need it?

    Jleigh, he could if I *needed* him to, but it's leading up to his busiest time of the year work wise, so I don't want him to stay home if it's not warranted.

    I rang the hospital. Another nurse confirmed two hours. She said I might need to stay overnight :/
