I'm going to have my laparoscopic surgery next week.  I wasn't aware that bleeding after was a normal part of the process?   I've read everything you and the others have said about preparing for after the surgery but never read anything about bleeding vaginally.  Should I be expecting some bleeding also?

Everyone seems to get this to some degree.  To what degree is it serious?  I read that soaking a thick pad every 1/2 hour means too much blood loss (emergency).  If the rate is slower, not an emergency.

Advil (Ibuprofen) should help to reduce the bleeding some.  Try it (if you are not one that cannot take this medicine, that is).
