10 days after exploratory laparoscopy

2 Replies

Should I go on a club outing tomorrow morning? It would involve a two hour coach ride each way. I can choose how far I will walk - if at all.

Nothing was removed during the op and I feel reasonably well, though one of the wounds never stopped leaking and is slightly infected. The surgeon had a look at it and said it wasn't bad and I needed no antibiotics. Had a severe bout of diarrhoea last night, but that seems to have settled.

I am just a little concerned to be away from home for 10 hours.

Go for it & try & forget your diarrhoea if at all possible.

You will feel better if you do.

Its some 10 years ago I had my laparoscopy but wished I'd done all that was prearranged for me. Go for it !!

Hope all ok for 2moro,

Regards
