Lap on Friday!

[mwill016]

Hey everyone,

Finally got my lap date after much pestering...to be told it's this Friday haha

Feeling quite nervous about it so any tips/advice for before/after the op would be really appreciated... xx

Well the good thing is you finally got your date, for me I wasn’t worried about the actual procedure, I was just glad to finally get it done. For after though, you’re probably going to feel quite emotional so be prepared for that lol, the main pain I had was in the shoulder area, rather than the incision area, I found a hot water bottle around my shoulder helped ease the pain so much. Try to walk around little and often, just so you’re getting exercise but the last thing you want to do is overdo it, so don’t be rushing to do house work or anything. You’ll figure out what’s best for you, but it took me around 11 days to get back to myself, hope all goes well for you xx

Thank you so so much for your wise words! I thought once I had my date I'd feel less anxious about it, but it's just a different kind of anxiety now haha. I'm sure it'll all go fine though, and thank you so much for the tips xx

Thank you so much for this. I honestly appreciate it so so much, it's so nice to feel like I'm not totally alone in this.

I agree with Peach_sapphire. You may also feel really emotional. Day 3 post lap I was crying at every single little thing 😄

Good luck, hope all goes well xxx
