I have my post-op appointment on Monday with my specialist. What kinds of questions should I be asking after having laparoscopic surgery?

I’m going to my post op appointment today as well, I would like to have a copy of my post op report and pics of my surgery if possible, I already know I have stage 4, how long does it take to heal internally, I already my fertility odds are against me so I won’t bother asking that. How fast will it grow back? What is the management plan now that I’ve had surgery? How often will I need to see you to track my progress? I’m the patient that asks 1000 questions and then researches everything in the post op report🤓

I asked what I could do to prevent it growing back (treatment options) and about my fertility prospect as sometimes adhesions and scar tissue can really damage your anatomy.
