Laparoscopy wounds

Hi everyone, I recently had my first lap and was changing the dressing for it tonight. When I took the dressing off that was on the belly button wound there was a bit of gunk around it. I cleaned off the gunk with a cotton bud and had to go into my belly button a little to clean it, but didn’t push

Laparoscopy pending.

Ive been told that although she couldn't see any cysts I need to get a laparoscopy and I'm scared, I know I need to know as I would like to have kids eventually but I also don't want to know.

Laparoscopy recovery

Yesterday I finally had my first laparoscopy after 13 years trying to get GPS to believe my symptoms were endo. I have been diagnosed with endo and had endo removed. The pain in my stomach is so much worse then I thought it would be and it kills when I move!

Laparoscopy endometriosis

Going to have my first lap on the 24th Dec (Christmas Eve, what bad timing). Any advice on recovery and how long it takes to be feeling not so bad afterwards? Also how long does the lap usually last for?

Laparoscopy

I was to have a laparoscopy in March but due to the covid this was cancelled. I had a hospital appt recently via telephone... which basically I cried all the way through due to my anxieties. My consultant has arranged for an appointment to have the laparoscopy.

Laparoscopy struggles

I had my Laparoscopy, Hysteroscopy and dye test yesterday to finally diagnose endometriosis and investigate my fertility. I was in hospital all day as had repeated dizzy spells and unable to go for a ‘full wee’ I was eventually discharged at midnight. I’m feeling really deflated today.

Advice please laparoscopy

Hi I had a little rant earlier about the gynae wanting to start a fresh and pushing me to the back. Literally after the post she rang back to say I will be going on waiting list for a diagnostic lap. Which I’m so thankful for finally but now it’s surreal I’m so worried they won’t find anything any one

Laparoscopy still waiting

I’ve been waiting for my lap since September... the pain is so bad but every time I call (most of the time the hospital don’t even answer the phone) I’m told that my hospital aren’t doing any outpatient surgeries atm. It’s been like this for most of the past year ... we aren’t even in a high risk area

Laparoscopy and period

I have been offered a date to undergo a laparoscopy but I will be on my period on the day. Does anyone know if this affects the surgery or anyone who has had the same situation can let me know if the recovery would be worse due to also being on the period? Thanks

Laparoscopy during flare?

Hi all. I’m having my first lap done on Wednesday and I’m also mid flare up. My whole tummy is swollen again, horrendous back pains and unable to bend down properly. Has anyone had their lap done mid flare? I’m so anxious about it already and I fear I’ll be so inflamed and swollen. Thank you x

URGENT REFERALS TO BSGE

Hey, I know every part of the UK is different but from your initial consultation how long is the wait (roughly) for your laparoscopy if it's urgent? I'm in Scotland. xx

Pre-op consultation

And it is supposed to be pre-laparoscopy meeting. Is there any questions that I should definitely ask ? It’s going to be my 2nd laparoscopy but the first one in the U.K. alone. Trying to get as much info as I can but I was wondering if there was any question I should really really ask ahead.

Period after laparoscopy?

I had my laparoscopy about a month ago and they removed two large chocolate cysts and got rid the rest of the endo which was wide spread. I still haven't had my period yet? How long does it normally take to come back? I also can't be pregnant. TYIA :)
