Hi all!
I've just had a call confirming that my diagnostic laparoscopy and hysteroscopy are booked for 3rd March. I'm pleased that it's so soon, but also quite nervous, mainly that they won't find anything (not that I want endometriosis, it's just that I desperately need an explanation for all my pain and symptoms, or some sort of plan or something!)
I've read from a few sites that a surgeon might ask for a bowel prep before a laparoscopy - is this common with diagnostic laps? Is it something I might be asked to do? I have a bit of a hang up about bowel stuff, and I'm really dreading the thought.
Also, does anyone have any tips or anything I should be aware of? I'm trying to be cool about all of this, but do suffer with anxiety so getting moments of panic (trying to squash them down) - like I say, glad it's happening and that I don't have to wait ages but also really worried. Everything is just such an unknown!
Thanks in advance for reading.
