Laparoscopy tomorrow

Hello ladies

The day is almost here and it's my third laparoscopy tomorrow. I'm a bit nervous and keep worrying I'm going to forget that I can't eat and wolf down half a toasted teacake then my op will have to be cancelled. I'm tired of waiting now and preparing for it - I want it over with. I keep getting tearful for no particular reason, but I've had a truly awful couple of weeks at work which probably haven't helped.

I just feel emotionally drained and want this operation over with. Plus three weeks after my operation, my Mum has her hysterectomy and I'm worried about her. Urgh, if I could fast forward my life to September I would! Sorry I'm just moaning really. Any reassuring words would be appreciated though.

Thanks

Thank you for all your kind words. I'm back in my room and have eaten a bit of food, but I've been quite tearful/down since I came round. The laparoscopy revealed only a small amount of endo, which was removed. I forgot to ask the consultant if there was anything on my bowel/bladder, but hopefully she'll be able to tell me when I see her.

I feel like I'm back at square one with no explanation for the fatigue unless it's adenomyosis and no explanation for the random abdominal pains. No idea what is causing the nausea...I half feel like I've been imagining it all.

What's upset me even more is that whilst in the anaesthetic room my anaesthetist said 'she's not a very nice person'. I'll never know for sure who he was talking about, but it's really upset me.

It's over, but I'm just feeling quite down at the moment.
