I’m having a diagnostic laparoscopy done to see if I have endometriosis, and if I do, they will use ablation to get rid of it. I’m wondering what things I can do to prepare for the surgery, as well as things I can do which will help me afterwards during the recovery process. I’ve never had a surgery before so I am really scared. 1. What should I buy to prepare for my laparoscopy? (Heat pads, foods, OTC medicines?) 2. What can I do after my surgery to release the gas in my body? 3. Other tips for post surgery 4. How long was it until you were able to take a bath? 5. How long was it until you were able to return to work (desk job)? 6. Did you go on a birth control form after the surgery to prevent endo from coming back?
