 Tips
I've had Four Laps. I've had countless doctors tell me I need them when I don't. I would suggest you bring someone to sit with you afterwards, it really comes in handy to have someone there to massage you if you get gas pains (which, to be honest, cam sometimes hurt almost as bad as the actual surgery). Ceana Nezhat is one of the, I guess you could say "inventors" of the laparoscopy and he has always stressed to me how there should be minimal scars. My case is pretty rare, so I've had doctors want to cut me hip to hip just to take a look but NEVER let them do that. Drink lots of fluids afterwards. Pretty much, it's a simple procdure, with minimal pain compared to what I'm sure you've been through with cramps before. It really does help "clean up" the Endo. The doctor might give you a laxative drink, sort of tastes like really lemony sprite the night beforehand. Before one surgery I had to actually go off of my no-sugar diet to see the immediate effects sugar had on me. Just make sure to ask your doctor any questions you might have, there are no stupid questions when it comes to surgery.Hope that helped some! Good luck and have a speedy recovery! |
