diagnostic laparoscopy
hi everyone,
i had a laparoscopy on the 11th nov for suspected endo my doctor had gone by the time i woke up and the nurse wasn't very helpful, i waited to speak to another doctor and all he said was that my ovaries are larger than normal and there was some cysts found i dont know what this means, does anyone else??? as far as i know nothing was removed and ive been told i will be able to talk to my doctor in a follow up appointment in 3 to 6 months, is this the normal time to wait??? also its 2 days after my op now and im experiancing sharp stabbing pains in the incision in my side and sometimes it feels like its burning, the incision made in my belly button seems to be healing ok has anyone else had this pain??
I would appreciate anyones comments

Thats crazy that you have to wait that long. Is there any way you can ask for the copy of your surgery and pick it up? I will tell you what it says lol
Thanks for your reply, my concern is that I had a late afternoon surgery so my consultant had gone by the time I came round and the nurse couldn't read his notes so all they could tell me was my ovaries are large and I have cysts,i don't know if any were removed during surgery and I can't speak to my consultant because he's now on leave for two weeks, I find it very frustrating because I can't get a follow up appointment for 4 months as they are busyall I can do is make an appointment for a telephone conversation for about 3 weeks time, I find it quite upsetting because I just want to know what happened and what they found, and if they didn't remove the cysts is it likely I will have to have the procedure done again as its causing pain x
It takes a good 2 weeks to recouporate from a lap surgery. After 2 days you should be in pain. As long as the incision isnt leaking or is not pussing then you should be fine.
If there was something more they would have said something.
My doctor did the same thing. I think he had a conversation with me while I was still under lol..
His nurse told me everything but I also asked questions as well.
When you go for your follow up they should give you a copy of the surgical report.
