I was just thinking in case I don't get too see my dr after my lap and he speaks with my gf instead..what kind of things could she ask so she can give me as much info as possible (my post op is 6 weeks after and i don't think I will like the wait)
This is my first lap so I don't know what to expect! Any suggestions will be much appreciated!

What did they see What was removed and from where (endo, organs, adhesions, etc) Were there any complications (I'm sure there are more but I'm coming up blank at the moment)
Have your gf take notes - bring a paper and pen for her to write it down with!

My boyfriend did what I think was a great idea. He has a blackberry so when the surgeon took him into the room to talk about what they found,etc. he recorded it on his phone and that way I was able to listen to it my self afterwards. And got to hear my surgeon say that I had "beautiful ovaries" lol

I'm going for a lap in less than a month and my wonderful doc has offered something i've never heard of. He told me to bring a blank dvd or a flash drive and he will record what he sees through the camera of the lap and record it for me to keep. He said that this will help me understand what my body is going through, and if i need to see a different doc that it will help them understand what has been done or found earlier. I thought this was a GREAT idea and i'm thankful that he is able to do this.

Cool! I've heard of that on occasion, but wish more docs would do that. After my surgery, my doc gave my dad 6 pics of my lap to pass along to me. It was really cool to see it, to know what was there. (My dad and I still joke that he's seen my private bits, even if it only was my ovaries, uterus, appendix, cul de sac.)

Haha that sounds like my dad. He and my sister are more excited about seeing the video than i am i think. They're both science nerds! I'm so anxious to find out what is happening inside me and to get some answers!
