Re: laparoscopy!!       12/14/06 10:57 AM Edit Reply Quote Ulrika Reged: 08/20/06 Posts: 581 Loc: Uppsala, Sweden Hi! I had an ovarian cyst removed through laparoscopy back in '99 and it was totally fine. I was asleep during the procedure and ended up with 4 tiny scars (one in the bellybutton so that one doesn't show at all). The biggest one is a little over 0.5 inches long because they put a draining tube there for a few hours after surgery. But that scar is actually the one that shows the least. I had the surgery done on a Wednesday and got to go home on the Friday (i.e. 2 days later) and I only had to stay for that long because I have problems with bladder retention so I had to stay in till they saw I could empty my bladder properly. I was back to university by Monday and was able to ride my bike there without a problem. So all in all, it's not too bad. Hope that helps. /Ulrika, IBS-D Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
