The doctor is also going to give me a D & C and inject dye into my fallopin tubes to see if there is any blockages. Also he is going to burn any lesions because I have Polycystic Ovaries and Endometriosis.

hey, i have had 3 laps and it's not that bad. it's called the "bandaid" surgery and that's literally what you'll have. a bandaid from the one stitch in your bellybutton and if you have to have any other incisions, they are also one stitch. the only problem you will have is the gas that is injected into your stomach that keeps your other organs away from where they are working. you are injected with gas and while you're under, they tilt your head down so that you're angled. you will have a feeling of the flu- very achy shoulders where the gas floats up and hits your nerve endings. that sux. worst part of it though. good luck. i have had a d&c and they are a bit painful from the dilation, no dye so I don't know about that. I USED to have Endo and the laps where from that. haven't had that for about 11 years now. let me know how you're doing. I know what you're going/going to go thru. i felt better next day with the laps, had some spotting and cramping with the d&c so that took a couple of days. really next day you'll be fine.

"After you wake up, you will feel drowsy for several hours. For 1 to 2 days after the procedure, you may be tired and have some general aches and pains (these can be caused by the anesthetic). You also may have a mild sore throat if an ET tube was placed in your throat to help you breath during the procedure. Using throat lozenges and gargling with warm salt water may help relieve your sore throat." (see sources) "You may have some abdominal bloating. There may be bruising around the incision for a few days. You may have some discomfort around the incision.
The gas used during the procedure can temporarily irritate your diaphragm. You may notice pain or achiness in your shoulder for several hours after the procedure. "
Sounds like there's not a lot of recovery as far as the laparascopy and D&C go. I couldn't find much on removing lesions, if you're talking about removing some of the cysts, they actually remove part of the ovary, called ovarian drilling, but I don't think that's what you're referring to. I think the recovery time for that is longer.

D&C don;t usually take that long to recover. Most people recover within 1 or 2 days and is back to work on the 4th day after surgery. So you can for sure do normal things on Monday of the following week.
BEST OF LUCK

You're probably looking at 2-4 weeks to be back to normal, depending on how extensive of burning he needs to do.

about 3 weeks you can work the next day, you will cramp really bad so get ready for that. Just some heavy spotting. You will do fine.

No time flat! You might need some pain medication related to the D&C but you'll be as good as new with a good nights sleep!

depends on your body and how much they end up doing. you could be back to yourself in a couple days it might take a week or two. you won't be able to drive for a while. And you will have some bleeding, pain and soreness.

My friend had the very same thing done, she was at work the next day. She said it was nothing, she was just tired for the rest of the day of the surgery. good luck.

Except for the extras you have done, my ex was OK within 24 hours.
