    EP 68 | Laparoscopy, Our Experience, Tips, Hospital Bag, Recovery & Do We Regret It?!

    Laparoscopy can be a huge, overwhelming decision, whether it’s suggested for fertility reasons, endometriosis diagnosis, or to help manage ongoing pain. And if they’re being honest… Lucy and Yaelle were so scared. In this episode, Lucy and Yaelle share their full laparoscopy experience, from the anxiety leading up to surgery day to recovery at home. They talk openly about why they choose to have it done. They cover their best tips, what they packed in their hospital bag, how recovery really felt (physically and emotionally), and answer the question everyone asks… do they regret it? If you’ve been told “you might need a laparoscopy” or this is on your cards and instantly felt terrified, confused, or stuck in a Google spiral, you are not alone, and this episode is for you.
