Hiya, I had my lap at the beginning of May and nothing was found and at the time I didn't know how to feel - relieved it was not endo and frustrated that I still had no answers. I was in pain daily for nearly 2 years before my lap and in the weeks since my lap I've only had the pain 2-3 times, it seems that whatever they did seems to have made my symptoms better! At least now that endo hasn't been diagnosed you can start to investigate what is causing the pain. Hope you get out the hospital shortly and rest! x

I was the same, hungry and thirsty. The nurse gave me three packets of sandwiches for me to choose one and if she hadn't taken the others away I would have demolished them too haha! x

How are you doing now? Did you get home? At least op behind you now. Can appreciate how frustrated you might be feeling now as well as tender. You have through a lot and main thing now is to recover from today's events. Maybe like Wishes said the symptoms you were experiencing may go away as result of surgeon looking around. Take care and get good night's rest hopefully.x

Hiya, I slept well but kept waking up in pain and for a wee, I've just taken more pain killers and just got to spend the next few days in bed with films and chocolate the hospital never told me how long I'll need off work either I was told a week to two at my pre op. Xxx

I was the same, I couldn't go to the bathroom for 5 hours after entering recovery so they kept me over night.

I wish you a speedy recovery lovely and good luck finding the cure to your discomfort xxxx

Hey, I also had mine done yesterday. You're not alone. They said they didn't find anything gyno related, which was partially quite a bummer really as it was my final chance at answers I think. But also a bit of a relief I suppose.

They did however remove my large bowl from being fused to my abdomen. Did they find any anything else non gyno related?

When I woke up they said they found nothing to me, it's only when
