Take something to keep you occupied I took a tablet in so I could watch tv. I found drinking pop helped to ease the wind. Also sweets to suck afterwards as your throat is sore. If you don’t like hospital food take something in. For the journey home take a pillow to put across your tummy so the seatbealt doesn’t rub against you.

Hey I’m having my second operation in 3 weeks so I can recommend a few things! I would take a pair of slippers, big knickers, some kind of pad (you’ll most likely bleed after) some loose clothing for the journey and maybe a pillow for the journey too! Also take something just in case you have to stay overnight-unlikely but it’s better to be prepared! I would write notes on your phone for after the op as you will most likely be really drowsy and sometimes the information can be quite overwhelming which is completely fine! You can’t really prepare fully because we don’t know what the operation may find! If you have any more questions let me know! I hope it’s kind of helpful!

I would recommend peppermint tea for when you’re back home. It helps to gently disburse the trapped air from the gas they use. I find it doesn’t taste the best but it worked a treat! Best wishes for the op x

Definity take a pillow so when your travelling home you can put it against your belly and seatbelt and ask the hospital for some sachets to help with going to the toilet as it may take a few days i hope this helps and wear baggy clothes Good luck with everything xx

Hi! I just had Laparoscopy a month ago for adhesions and endometriosis (for the second time ) I would have something to keep you occupied, I bought my laptop and watched movies until I was ready for surgery. I also bought a change of clothes in case I stayed overnight (which I did). I would also say bring some pads and comfortable clothes.

Also after surgery if you have any pains such as tummy ache or shoulder or neck pain I found a heat pad and paracetamol helped a lot. Walking around helped me forget about the pains too.

Depending on what your surgery will find it’s difficult to know how to feel as well, getting support from others is really important. I hope this helps, feel free to send me a message if I can help in anyway!
