Laparoscopy - endometriosis ablation + cystectomy

Samantha

I had a laparoscopy 2 days ago for a very large endometrioma removal and endometriosis ablation (as well as a hysteroscopy and the dye to look at my tubes).

Has anyone gone through something similar and can give me tips or ideas of what to expect during recovery? (Any particular diet to stick to post-surgery? Foods to avoid? Any OTC medications to help? Positions to lie? “Tummy” pillows?) Really any help or insight will be greatly appreciated!

All the doctors seemed to think it would be a simple recovery but I’m still really struggling with the pain.
