Ok here is my problem I'm going in for a laparoscopy in a couple of months and my bf will be in Vegas I don't want to do this on my own

I'm scared to recover on my own as in the past I've been in a relationship where I've been with someone who has not been supportive what is your input ? I'm upset and feeling alone ?

I recently just had a lap and I was so grateful my boyfriend put his life on hold for a week or two just to take care of me! Physically I needed taking care of as I couldn't stand up or walk by myself for about 5 days after my lap. After that, I just needed him there emotionally and to stop myself from feeling bored and isolated.

Of course everyone's experience is different! I've heard many women bounce back within two days!! I'm very young and consider myself to be very fit and healthy, so I was surprised it took my body so long to recover.

Is there anyone else who can stay with you for a week or so? If there isn't and you feel like having your boyfriend missing will be too difficult, I'd look into arranging a different date. You don't want the extra anxiety! Hope it all works out and take care xx

Hello

After my first lap I was abs l at work after 3 days, my partner took me on the day but went to work the morning after and I was fine I even made his tea when he got home. Have you not got a family member or friend who could go? The hospital will want someone to be with you the first night after a GA, if you stay in overnight though you won't need someone at home then x

If I were you I would either postpone the op date til your bf can be with you - or arrange for a family member or good friend to be there for you for few days. I have had 5 laps and awaiting my sixth and for each one I was so glad my husband was there as I was signed off work for two weeks and certainly didnt feel up to resuming normal life for first few days after the op. You need support emotionally too - If you are anthing like me I was scared to death and want someone with me - really hope it all works out in your favour.
