I'm not in Melbourne, so can't help from that perspective.
I did, however, have that surgery laparoscopically earlier this year. My surgery was in the morning and I was home by lunchtime the following day. The worst pain that I had was my back, from the bed.

I hope you find someone you're comfortable with
