Hi Rara ... I had my Lap&Dye on the 30th of April and I can honestly say that I never had any shoulder tip pain. It was pretty much straight forward, there's a little bit of pain afterwards, but nothing too extreme. The bloating from the gas was quite a shock, I'm already a little bit "rounded" but I looked like a had a second trimester belly going on! , so loose/stretchy clothing is a must. The week afterwards was not too bad ... you certainly won't be picking up anything heavy without your body feeling it, but all in all it's not as bad as you fear.

I can't think of much more, if you like PM me with specifics and I'll see what my rusty memory digs up.

I will give you a tip though, take a little suitcase with some PJ's and another change of clothes ... if for some reason you need to be admitted to hospital then you won't be like me and get caught short!!!
