lap vs abdominal
I'm scheduled for TAH/BSO on Wed 9/5. We hope to do this laproscopically, but may not be able to do that due to 2 C-sections and exploratory abdominal appy...read, lots of abdominal scar tissue. Has anyone else had this issue? Was your dr. able to do the lap?
Also, a few days ago I came down with a cold and cough, dr. said it would "probably not" cancel my surgery, again any others with this experience?

lap vs abdominal
I didn't have the option of lap surgery due to other issues, but I do know that if there's lots of scar tissue, it is more difficult to do the lap surgery. (As it turned out, even if my other issues hadn't been there, the scar tissue which was adhering my uterus to my bladder would have meant an abdominal surgery for sure.)
As for the cold -- in most cases, as long as you're not running a fever and your chest isn't too congested, surgery will probably not be canceled. You might want to check ahead just to make sure. Do be careful with any medications you might be tempted to take for a cold. (I know I reach for some things without even thinking when I'm stuffed up... )
Hope this helps.
