Hi Steph

Firstly, sorry to hear you're not feeling so good and hope you are on the mend soon.

I had a similar gynae procedure 5yrs ago (laparoscopy, cells zapped and diathermy) and the thing which made me feel worst afterwards was the painkillers they gave me (cocodamol). They made me so constipated it was untrue (like nothing for 2.5wks!), I was really poorly because they told me these couldn't be the cause when I went back so I kept taking them, which in turn led to cramps like you wouldn't believe and it was only when I stopped them that things started to "move" of their own accord - either that or the procedure had done something to my insides due to bruising or whatever? Anyway, I'm now stuck with ibs as a result (they claim there's no connection but I never had it before the op and I've had it ever since!) so my advice is to keep going back until you get a satisfactory answer. I'm really not trying to be gloomy about it but I'd hate you to go through what I did if you're not right in the early days. Good luck.

thanks all .. yeah my GP was lovely, even though the receptionist couldn't fit me in, she got my gp to ring me, and she did 5mins later! wrote me out a prescription - which I've now got.. taken one already.. It's weird.. everytime I eat I just feel full! - even if it's a bag of crisps - then I'm sick

I agree, go see your GP, or give NHS 24 a call
