Hi ladies,
Thanks so much for all your pre lap advice - this is such an invaluable tool and a great community. By reading some of your posts it helped me feel prepared.
I now need a bit more advice please!
Had a laparoscopy and hysteroscopy on Tuesday morning. They found endo on my womb, on both the uterosacral ligaments and a uterine polyp, all of which were removed. I was also told I have a heart shaped uterus, which was news to me!
I was in agony when I came round in the recovery room and Bp dropped significantly - given Emergancy morphine etc. I had to stay overnight but came home on Wednesday.
I’ve been given paracetamol, ibuprofen and codeine but as yet, none of that seems to be taking away the pain. I have the obvious stomach pain from the surgery as well as horrendous gas pain in chest and lower down. I didn’t sleep at all last night because of and also not being able to find a position that was comfortable. Stomach is huge!
Im conscious this might all be normal but I wasn’t really given any info from the hospital as to the type of recovery I could expect. Would anyone be able to tell me whether this is all as expected or if I should contact hospital?
Thanks in advance for any guidance
Jo
