Hi Bella_mum,
You'll find a lot of the people in the AC thread have had laps and hysteroscopies and D&Cs.
I had all three in one go and had no problems in terms of recovery. Just the shoulder tip pain, which was frustrating - and much sorer than the abdomen.
Due to the severe endo that they found (previously undiagnosed) i woke up with 4 incisions, but they are so very small and very well hidden and they all healed up like a charm.
Went home about 3 hours after the op and stayed home for 3 days afterwards.
It was my first admission to a hospital, and it went super smoothly.
Good luck with yours.
Jo
