Hi guys,

Finally got a date for my laparoscopy which is next Wednesday (11th), any recommendations on what to bring/recovery afterwards would be really appreciated! I’ve just turned 21 so super nervous about going it alone!

Best of luck with your Surgery I have had the surgery and my advice is plenty of rest before and after and remeber to look after yourself and bring a book or something to read or watch while in recovery room becase

they are boring as hell

Hi

The staff will be very professional, I hadn’t had op until Feb, petrified beforehand, but there was no need.

I’d suggest a few overnight things just in case you’re last on the list and too late to go home. I bought a dress to go home in so I didn’t have anything tight around waist and a small cushion for between body and seatbelt.
