Bestrong, I had my first lap and hysteroscopy around O time and was able to start suppression for IVF in the following cycle (started synarel at 7dpo, so about 6 weeks after the lap, EPU was 2 months after the lap). The immediate recovery will depend on how much work is done - if they find nothing it should be quick (1-2 days), but if there is endo or a tube that needs to be removed it's more like 1-2 weeks. I had a lot of endo removed and needed 8 days to recover before I was fit to return to work (desk job).
