Tips for recovery after Laparoscopy?

I have my diagnostic laparoscopy scheduled for next Thursday. What should I pack for the hospital, and what helped you cope with the post-surgery gas pain?

Hi Grace! Peppermint tea helps break down the abdominal gas. Wear very loose, high-waisted sweatpants so there is no pressure on the belly button incisions. Good luck!
