Hi,I am going in to hospital next Tuesday for a laporoscopy to remove large cyst and ovaries. Has anyone had this done and can give any advice or tips on recovery times etc ?
Thank you

I had ovaries removed laparoscopically. Initial pain was from gas used to pump into tummy area. Shoulders ached for a few days afterwards. Wound healed fairly quickly as did I. After a week I was feeling pretty much back to normal. But as with most things, we're all different. Good luck.

Can offer no advice I'm afraid, but hope it goes well and wishing you a speedy recovery x

Thanks ladies,
I was planning for a week to totally recover. Have a caravan break booked at the weekend and was wondering how much walking I would be able to do, also flying to Spain on 19th. Not sure about flying restrictions so am going to ring insurance company later ..getting a little anxious now so will be glad when it's all over x

All I had was really bad shoulder pain from trapped wind.. like cubagirl  says probably from the gas they use. I had a large  ovarian cyst taken out. Hot water bottle essential. Apart from that absolutely fine 2 days later. Good luck... wishing you well. xxx

Make sure you have some peppermint water to sip for the pain from wind.

Ok Ellie thanks for that tip, will try to get some, otherwise would peppermint tea suffice - I drink loads of that ?! X

Extra strong mints worked for me. Will be over soon debil.

Hi all,
Thanks for your good wishes.
I had the operation today and now home. It went well although the cyst was much bigger than expected and they drained 2 litres of fluid from it! Feeling bit sore and swollen around abdomen and have shoulder pain from gas but pain killers are sorting that out!
Just got to wait for final results from pathology so fingers crossed !!
Enjoying being waited on by OH so shant let on how good I feel just yet !!

Rest up and don't rush things. And enjoy being fussed over.
