Laparoscopy in 2 days
Ok ladies, I have read all your posts, especially those of you that have already had a laparoscopy....so I'm going through my pre-surgical anxiety now.... any words of wisdom that any of you have to share..... I know about the "gas" pains and possible constipation afterwards.... anything else that would be helpful.... or I'll just show up on wednesday morning like a true warrior and just say "do it"..... I really appreciate all that you all have shared these past months... another question, did you all do a bowel prep the day before?? My doctor has me doing the GoLytely.....That's not a big deal, as I did one of those preps before a colonoscopy. Thanks and many blessings to you all!!

Painterchic recently had laporascopic surgery and afterwards made a fantastically helpful and humorous posting you should look at.

Good luck and do add your surgery to the surgery dates on the health pages.

Hi,
Yes, I had to do the bowel prep too.. no fun. Also,you may want to invest in a "gopher".. It's a grabby thing on a pole so you don't have to reach or bend down. (Wal mart , etc. has them) That really helped a lot! and drink plenty of water !!!
Afterwards, I also ate prunes and took my usual Metamucil (although one member said her Dr. advised against the Metamucil because of possible blockage) I diluted it a lot and it didn't cause any problems. I even took a few stool softeners (Dulcolax) I'm prone to that sort of problem anyway, and sure didn't want to pop any stitches !
You'll fly right through this !! And we're here to answer any other questions that may come up.. when is your procedure??
Take care and let us know,
Sandy

Hi ,
I had to do a bowel prep , I don,t think everyone does though . My gyn said it was incase the bowel is accidently nicked during surgery . Good luck , it will be all over before you know it , its amazing when you wake up and realize its all over !!!
