Eva, I haven't had a lap for endo, but I've been poked around for other things. You'll mostly need to recover from the anesthetic. Like the other ladies mentioned, you might feel neck/shoulder pain due to the gas for a couple of days, and that's quite uncomfortable, but will resolve on its own. You'll want to eat bland things like toast and broth, nothing too hard to digest afterwards and probably most of the next day.
Everyone is different, but you'll probably have a heavy type of af, and it may last longer then a typical af. I remember bleeding for at least a month and heavily. It wasn't fun! But then again, you may not. You'll have dressing over the incisions and your doctor will probably tell you to remove them after a few days, or just allow them to fall off on their own.
As far as what to wear, I would suggest a loose gown so that nothing is pressing against your belly area at all. But make sure it's one you wouldn't mind parting with, in case you stain it. It's also a good idea that whoever is there with you fills the prescription for your pain meds while you are still in aftercare so you have everything for the ride home and don't need to stop anywhere.
Don't overdue it when you get home. The pain meds they give you in the hospital will last a while, so you won't realize the pain for a while. Just rest!
