There is no better information than what Kate gave you. I just want to tell you good luck and that I will be praying for you. Take care of yourself and give yourself plenty of time to heal. Please keep us posted on how you are doing.
Just want to wish u everything of the best for your surgery this week. I wil keep u in my prayers.
I agree about taking to the anestheologist RIGHT before surgery about the asthma They will come to your pre-surgical room and check your teeth and ask health questions. Just remind them. Also (especially if your asthma is not controlled) speak with your physician/surgeon. Remind him/her about your asthma. They'll probably order some nebs and/or chest PT if you stay in patient just as preventative. (which is what I had due to a slight wheeze)
As for surgery-- When I had my laparoscopic procedure, I believe it lasted about an hour. Then recovery room for another 45min-hour depending on how quick you wake from anesthesia. My next surgery was a laparotomy and was close to 2 hours long because they opened me up, did biopsies, closed me...got the results back, and opened me back up all in one operation. Again, recovery room for about an hour.
Most laparoscopic surgeries are outpatient (at least in my area) and if they do a laparotomy, you'll most likely stay in the hospital for a day or two. I had surgery on a tues morning and was discharged after lunch on Wed. But bring a overnight bag with you just incase you have to stay.
Do you know the size(s) of your cysts?
Take care & let us know how surgery goes!!

You definitely want to discuss this with the anesthesia doctor that will be participating in the surgery.
