Has anyone had a laparoscopy to remove an ovarian cyst?
I'm scheduled to have one in May

I originally saw my GP because of some vague but unusual symptoms which alerted me to the possibility of ovarian cancer. Of course because I am 35 with no family history, the GP ruled that out immediately without any hesitation. I asked for an ultrasound which found a cyst. After a second ultrasound 6 weeks later, they found it had grown slightly so I was referred to a gyno.

Saw the gyno on Friday. She has arranged for a CA125 blood test.
And booked the laparoscopy to remove the cyst.

I was a bit stunned at the gyno - so of course I didn't ask the questions I should have asked!

Has anyone had a laparoscopy? I've never had any kind of surgery before, so I don't know what to expect.
I have an info sheet from the gyno so I know what is done, but... how do you feel afterwards?
How long are you "under" for (anaesthetic)? e.g. How long after surgery do you wake up?

And most importantly - will the cyst be biopsied to check for cancer?

Any help much appreciated
