laparoscopy surgery

hello,
i had a laparoscopy 2 and a half to 3 weeks ago, but i too am still in a lot of pain where the incision wounds are.
is this normal?? am worried its taking longer than i thought to recovery fully, and i am also due to go in for another laparoscopy procedure to actually remove endometriosis in almost 3 weeks time.
just want to know if it is normal to still be in pain now from the procedure? from what i have read on the forum, sounds like it is probably normal! thanks.

Yeah I'm pretty nervous to have my surgery done on Thursday!  I only took off two days and plan to go back to work on the following Monday.  Not sure how that will work out, anyone go back that soon after?  I am have endo removed along with a cyst on my right ovary.  Ugh!

It can take quite a while to finally start feeling normal again.  I had pain on my left side for a little over a month after my lap.  I also had issues with the incision healing.  My doc had me put neosporin and a band-aid on it twice a day for a week and it looks GREAT now!  The one in my belly button was the worst for me.  Any time I would bump it for a long time after it was really tender.
