hihi, just wanted to share my exp. i did lap surgery in april 2016 under Dr Loh as well. surgery took about 30-45mins only.... it was the waiting time that was much longer as Dr Loh had like 10 surgeries lined up for the day. Surgery was done via GA... Think the nurses woke me up within 10mins after surgery? the pain felt like menses cramp and bearable, but i cried cos i felt very cold and lost LOL. total of 3 incisions made - 1 in belly button, 2 on both sides of pelvic. Dr Loh removed 1 endometriotic cyst, 1 ovarian cyst and burnt off some polyps. total cost about $12K, some parts claimable via medical insurance. Surgery was done at TMC. the external wounds recovered in about 2 weeks' time....only about 1 to 1.5cm scars.
Reason why I underwent this surgery was cos of super painful menses for so many years of my life... i went for routine body checkup and my CA125 blood test turned out to be quite bad... and dr loh said it might affect fertility though there are still people who managed to conceive despite having endometriosis. so i thought better just do the surgery before it's too late. moral of story is.... it's important to do regular detailed health check up. anyway, i conceived naturally 3 months later... in july 2016 still seeing dr loh as my gynae as i have full trust in him.
Congratulations to you. It good to hear that. I hope after laparoscopy and successful pregnant.
