Please help me

I am going in on Wednesday for a diagnostic laparoscopy and I  terrified.  Can anyone tell me what will happen from the time I get to the hospital until I leave and how long recover will be and how much pain will I be in afterwards? ? Any advice or knowledge is greatly appreciated!

Laparascopy by itself is know for its quick recovery,shorter hospital stay and relatively less pain experienced.so u can ease urself with the fact that it is gonna b a simple procedure with no big incisions or cuts but smaller incisions say 1cm. and wen it comes to diagnostic laparascopy it is to find out what exctly and wer exactly the problem is from to move on or carry out with other curative measures in future.so the aim is to identify what and where ur problem is for ur better outcome. it can be a day care procedure or sumtimes may extend upto a day or two depending upon ur condition ur doctors opinion and the hospital policy at times. The level of pain perceived is relatively less and recovery is faster with exclusion to ur already prevelant disease condition. Ease urself and stay cool,the procedure room entry is always a threatening experience for patients with weird machines around ,plzz don get frightened ,jus relax so that ur body co operates well with the procedure.i am sure that after few days u ll wonder where exactly the incisions wer made.asthetically better too. during the procedure the diagnosis may be identified for further corrections or treatment. Jesus be with you.Amen
