| Medical (Human) question?? Has anyone here ever had a Laparoscopy? If so how bad was it,, during and after? I have to have it March 24th. Female issues... and they did an external and internal ultra sound and found a " lump" So this is the next step... just wondering if anyone has had one before, It's the 3 incisions in the tummy, with a camera, YIKES, that frightens me... Laparoscopy is a commonly performed procedure to examine the abdominal or pelvic organs. Investigations, and some keyhole surgery procedures, can be performed with laparoscopy where in the past the abdomen would have to be opened in an operation known as a laparotomy.

Been there, done that, have the scar The waiting is scarier than the procedure. The only after problem....they put gas in you to bloat up your tummy....afterward that gas can move into a joint...and it's not comfortable. After I'd these done a couple of times....one nurse finally told me to drink lots of carbonated beverages and burp to get it out. It tastes kind of mediciney, but it worked. When ya first get home, you'll just be sleepy. Btw, your lump may not be a LUMP at all. You can get cysts on your ovaries....they're water filled and they just pop those or drain them... I hoping they don't "find" anything, RR, it's really probably nothing...I'll be thinking of ya

| Rhonda, I have had a laproscopic procedure done before. It was a few years ago, but I didn't have any problems. It was a simple procedure and didn't take very long. If I remember correctly, there was one incision in the belly button and one beside it. They were very small. You will be fine! |

| I've had it done 3 times and it's no big deal. The first day I was a little sore, but they gave me pain medicine so I felt fine when I took it. Let us know how it goes!! I'll be praying for you!! |

| Wow, thanks guys for the info, everyone I talk to is " what?" never heard of it. So my next question is... IF if is a cyst or fibroid,, can they get a bioposy or do something about it then, or is this just exploratory? I go to the Dr. on Tues. to ask questions,, like this, but you guys can tell me now.

| Wishing you luck. I have had numerous cysts, that were treated with hormones. I think if it is small enough they can be removed at this time too.
