I am a little nervous- updated 12/9
I am going in for my laprascopy surgery tomorrow.
Not only am I afraid to do the surgery ( I am such a big baby) I am scared @ to hear what my Dr will find.
I KNOW that I can't control what is going on or not internally, but I am still a basket case. Part of me is excited to proceed and petrified @ the same time.
I am not allowed to eat anthing today besides liquids, so by the end of today I will probably also be a cranky bi+ch.
My house is stocked with Jello-
Anyone else do this or feel this way?
Thanks for listening
UPDATE--------
The surgery was a sucess. My incisions are a bit sore today. I was very appreciative of the warning of the shoulder pains- the hospital mentioned it to me but I felt 1 step ahead as the girls here told me first
The surgery was a laproscopy, hysteroscopy and d&c( I think the d&c part was the clean up)
I have 2 tiny incisions and a clear bandage over my belly button. No pain today except for my incisions being sore.
ETA- I actually have 3 incisions
The Dr removed some endometriosis and some polyp like things.
My tuebes and ovaries are open for business soon . I received my rubella shot 11/27 so I think the dr told dh yesterday 1 month after that and it's fair game.
I think I will be starting the blood thinners and drugs to legnthen my luteal phase soon as well.
I am grateful that we will be able to ttc the old fashioned way with a little help of some drugs.
I have my post surgery appointment 12/14. I'll know more then.
I am optimistic about the outcome and am glad that the surgery is over with!
As always- thanks for the support!!!!

Re: I am a little nervous
Good luck tomorrow! I haven't had the surgery but just remember anything you find out is knowledge and I always would rather know what is going on and how to deal with it rather than wondering about what ifs!
Hope you have a speedy recovery!

Re: I am a little nervous
good luck tomorrow
just a little advice - they (the drs) put air in the belly area to see what they are doing and later tomorrow night you might feel some pain in your shoulder area - do not panic and do not call 911 and get an ambulance to the hospital as if you were about to die -- thats what I did and it wasn't necessary - if you can, and you feel the pain, walk around your bedroom a little - the walking helps it move around
hope I am not scaring you, but I wish I had been warned of this pain

Oh no, you did scare me @ all. I appreciate your feedback. I for sure would have been calling 911.
Thanks to both of you for the well wishes.
Red, how was your recovery?

somewhat slow - I wasn't 100% for a few weeks, but they took out one of my tubes while they were in there.

Thanks-
I REALLY appreciate the shoulder pain info as well.
Also, just for the record I received some very encouraging fm's from a poster here who has been through this, and between you guys and her info I am feeling a lot more relaxed about this.

Re: I am a little nervous
Lots of Luck! You will be fine. I had Lapro in July. I didn't get any shoulder pain. Since they pump your stomach with air, you will feel bloated for about a week or so. My DH had pain meds filled for me, but I didn't need to use any. No pain, just a little discomfort. Any questions FM me!

Re: I am a little nervous- updated 12/9
Glad to hear things went so well. It's great that you may be able to conceive naturally and all they had to do was "clean things up". Lot's of luck to you
