Tips for a laparoscopy?

Question

They are burning off endometriosis and might be taking some cysts of my ovaries. Any tips on the recovery part?

Answer

Stay hydrated. MOVE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE! People make the mistake of laying around and it makes your recovery so long. Take laps around your house, get your own drinks and food, etc.
Sleep with your upper back propped up. There will be gas left over and it will hurt like a bitch if you lie flat or to one side.Also, get charco caps. 
Stop taking pain pills about 2 days in and switch to acetominophen. Trust me. Drink lots of water. 
I took 2 weeks off of work just due to the swelling. Originally it was a week. I was uncomfortable for about a month. However I went hiking about a week and a half after surgery to get my body used to moving as I moved a lot at my job at the time. 
I had endo removed, an impromptu appendectomy, ovarian drilling (bilateral), HSG and an exploratory hysteroscopy (how the found some of the endo).

Answer

I just had that same surgery plus they ended up taking my left ovary. The biggest thing that helped me was holding a pillow against my abdomen when I coughed, sneezed or got up the first few days after surgery. I also used a heating pad after the 2nd and made sure to stay hydrated!
