Hi Lioness

Ive had 2 laps. The first was to see what was going on down there. it was only 30mins and got 2 scars one in the belly button and the other above the bikini line. They found out I had sever endo. 2 weeks ago I had another lap, D&C hyst etc. to remove it all. It took 3.5 hours and they removed all the endo except on the bowel. I had 4 stiches this time. 2 in the same spot as before and 2 either side of pelvis. Both times I never got sholder tip pain. Wit hthe 1st lap I only took 2 days off. With this one I just had, I ended up taking 2 full weeks off, due to being really tired after the opp ( i slept all day every day for the 1st week) the second week I had severe pain and it turned out to be ovulation pain. I was bloated for a week a part from the gas the put inside you they also put an adhesive type solution so nothing would stick together etc. For the second opp I stayed over night in hosp. as my heart rate was quite fast.

I know how you feel. it is very daunting. I couldnt see beyond the opp,you will be fine. just take care and take time to recover before going back to work.
