hi mrs p,
yes, I had a lap and a hysteroscopy at the same time under a general anaesthetic, that would be about 7 years ago now.
I was back at work the next day, couldnt afford at the time not to! I recall feeling really crappy when I first woke up and in a bit of pain, op was done at like 7 in the morning and I was out by lucnh time and curled up on the couch at home, on pain killers, oh yes and the shoulder pain, from the gas displacing the diaphragm or something!
but anyway, like I said I was at work the next day, doing a bit of heavy lifting (probably not recommended, Im sure I ripped a few stitches!) and standing on my feet all day. I was more tired from the after effects of the anaesthetic than anything.
Hope it all goes well, take the time off if you can.
