extremely nervous about my surgery in march! help!

Shaela
I'm having surgery in march to get a fibroid removed. Laparoscopic surgery. The fibroid is about 4 or 5 centimeters and it may be causing infertility, only because it is sitting right on my uterine lining where a baby would implant. We have been ttc for over 2 years. Also, another reason why I want it removed is because my periods are extremely painful and heavy flowing. Has anyone had fibroid removal surgery? I'm nervous. I heard and read that it is a painful healing process that takes over 2 weeks to heal. Can I hear your stories? 
-anyone got prego right after surgery?
-anyone's period changed after surgery?
-how was the healing process for you?
