Its all not that bad really.... I had it
done twice going back in for my third in
febuary. After of cource you will have
pain but you have to understand you just
went under for surgury. You was cut
opened and had a cam inside lookin around
in your abdomen. After about 3 days you
will be fine. May I ask for what reason
are you havin this done for. I had my
first lap at age 16 then just 5 months
ago. And with my second one they found
endometriosis, fibriods, and a tubal
cysts.

I know it is hard to get good advice and
support. I found a place called the endo
center, also if you have yahoo there is a
group called the erc. The group is great
and I have gotten alot of support and
great advice from the ladies there.
Maybe you all would like to check it
out.
Www.Endocenter.Org
or look for the erc in yahoo groups. I
think that there may be a link to the ers
group at the endo center website.
I hope this helps, and I am hear to listen
if you need me.

My doctor believes that is what I have,
but I have not had a lap done. He started
me on bc, and I have started my period I
think I hurt worse on it than I did when I
was not taking it.
I guess I could use a little advice as
what to do for pain management, and how to
dicuss things with my Dr.

I was just told to take neurofen plus I
dont know if you would have that there but
you can get it from the chemist but its
usually behind the counter here you dont
need a prescription I take ir 48 hours
before my period and during my period its
hepled me alot it doesn't totally take
away the pain but it did help alot try a
heat pack not just a hot water bottle but
a whaet or rice heat pack they help alot
espesially when sleeping, i'd also ask
your doctor about what he/she thinks is
best for you.

I have been diagnosed with endo for 8
years. When you go in for your lap find
out if the doc will preform laser ablation
if he finds any. Some docs will and some
will only do the lap if that is what is
scheduled. Have socks...It gets cold in
there. Some women have a lot of pain when
they come to and some don't. Don't be
afraid to tell nurse if you are in a lot
of pain. Stand up for yourself!!
a lot of people posting and answering
every day. A lot of times within minutes.
Hope all goes well for you.

God lucky you I had to quit my job I was
told i'd be able to go back after 4-5 days
I was bedridden for a week and couldn't do
much for another week though ive since
been told by my doc that they removed a
fair bit and that would be why I was so
ruined for 2 weeks im ok now its been
almost 3 weeks and ive just got my period
9 days early so thats not too good and its
quite painfull still!!! I have my gyno
check up on the 2nd so i'll let you all
know how that all goes. Take care
