Are antibiotics perscribed after Laparoscopic surgery?

I can't believe some of you weren't given antibiotics! I've had one lap 5 years ago and have one tomorrow (yes, argh! hehe) and I had them and still felt shocking. I fully expect to get them tomorrow - apparently I'm getting a suppository, joy. Have asked to get that when I'm under hehe

You are NOT a big baby! It's totally normal that you are going through all of this pain. Quite frankly I think it is important for people who are having an appointment to know that it's not going to heal in 3 or 4 days and that they need to take time off. If they can get someone to help them out for a week or so then all the better. To give people false hope ...

Aww, I really feel for you right now. Yes, it does hurt and it does take time to heal. I would never be able to go back to work within a few days - how ridiculous! Your belly button incision could be infected. I seem to recall bruising, but to what extent is it purple? Yes, it does hurt even with painkillers. Given that painkillers don't help with my peri...
