Rara, I had mine 2 weeks ago this Friday. For me, I definately had shoulder tip pain. I got a wheat bag and made sure I popped some panadeine.
I found the shoulder pain was worse when I was sitting up, but better when I laid down, with no more than one pillow under my head. I thought it would only be one side, but I managed to get both sides.

I got out of bed as soon as I could, as I wanted a shower. I was a bit woozy, but DH managed to catch me luckily

Are you having just the lap done? I had the dye and the d&c as well.

I feel really good now. Wrestling with the trolley for the weekly shopping was no good last week, so DH came with me today.

My hospital pack, said that with coughing, you should brace the surgery site, abdomen, with a pillow and cough at the end of the 5th deep breath every hour.
