I had my lap and dye yesterday. It was a very quick procedure, I was in little pain but I do have some discomfort where the incisions were made. I have two days off work and am going back on friday. I feel I will be fine by then, maybe a little discomfort. Be sure to lay still following the surgery and they should let you sleep it off in recovery, don't be in a hurry to leave the hospital until you're well enough. Moving about too soon brings on nausea. Lots of luck.
