I am having a diagnostic laparoscopic surgery tomorrow to hopefully get to the root of abdominal/pelvic pain I have been having. I haven't had abdominal surgery since I was 9 so my memories of the recovery are mostly of only wanting to eat sour cream and onion potato chips and the fact that they put bandages on my stuffed reindeer that came to the hospital. So anyone who has had laparoscopic surgery what does recovery look like? Are the gas pains as terrible as I've heard?
