Awaiting laparoscopy

2 Replies

hello all. Just got a call from my doctor from my pelvic scan, ovarian cysts and ovarian endometriosis found. I have just signed my consent to be pushed through for a laparoscopy. I’m so nervous, any tips on how to prepare and deal with the aftermath? Also how long did you need to take off of work?

Thankyou

Hi Rosiehannah1 we can offer you so much general support and our personal experiences.

Below is a link to our webite, providing information in response to your questions:

I personally have had various different healing times post surgery. 2 weeks off work was never enough time for me and I have ended up in A&E more than once. I also make sure I am well stocked for easy meals and have as much fizzy pop as possible. I also do any jobs in the house that I know will be a stuggle post surgery.

I also tend to get a few magazines and multi pack of crisps!

Do you have any other concerns or queries?

Thankyou so much that is so helpful. I am 29 and have been having issues for 8 years. I have been waiting for this operation for 2 years. Just concerned about fertility and the damage the laprascopy could cause. X
