How much time do i have to take off from work after having a laparoscopy for endometriosis ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A few days: I allow patients to return to work in 2-3 days if their jobs aren't physically demanding. For extensive surgery like laps/myomectomy longer may be advisable. Most patients feel good quickly, although minor aches and pains may continue. Surgeons, myself included, are opinionated: you need to ask yours what he/she prefers.

Scheduled a laparoscopy for mid-January to look for endometriosis. I'm already really anxious about it. I see a PsyMD and therapist, and I take duloxetine and Ativan, but I feel like I am obsessing about this. What can I do to decrease this anxiety?
