laparoscopy

[louisecheese]

I had one of these yesterday under general anaesthetic. I still feel like poo now and my temperature is at 37.5 deg and it's not coming down. Is this normal, or could i have an infection?

well 37 is normal.

so i doubt its an infection

My friend had a laparoscopy a while back and felt like sh!te for about 3 days so I think it's pretty normal.

It could be the tranquilizers or muscle relaxants they give you that are making you feel awful, rather than the treatment itself.

[joko]

btw, laparoscopys, ''inflate'' you, in order to get a better look inside, which can be felt for days later - bizarrely in the shoulders!

A general anaesthetic can make you feel like poo for several days and as joko says they inflate you during a laparoscopy which doesn't help. I would have thought that your temperature would have been higher if you had an infection.
