I had a lap done on 4/3 as a diagnostic measure and to take care of some endo. I also had my surgery done on a Friday and I returnd to work on Tuesday. I would advise you to take it easy immediately after the surgry over the weekend. I have 3 scars one by my left groin, one in my belly button and then my largest is right in the middle of my bikini line. That one is abou 1/2 in a cross shape. The biggest thing I found was that using the bathroom was painful (tmi) particularly #2. The other thing was it felt like all my insides were loose and moving around. I would make sure you have a heating pad around, that was my life saver and wear loose comfy stretchable clothing. When i left after my surgery I looked like I was 5-6 months pg. Just be careful wth school and your books, for the first week or so you're not going to be able to lift things.
