Mahalo Answers can provide help and assistance with many different topics that you might need help for.

But may I recommend, for the sake of yourself and your potential child, you ask the doctor who did the surgery or a local gynecologist, rather than ask Mahalo answers on preggers questions.

Usually after many types of surgery including scope surgery, it is recommended to wait at least 6 weeks to resume back to normal activity. This gives your body full time to recover. At your doctors visit postop, I would discuss with him/her your wishes of trying to get pregnant. Depending on your health history and if any complications incurred before or right after surgery, your doctor would be the one to decide at that time whether you can start trying to get pregnant then, or if you need to wait until your body is healed more. Having key hole surgery makes the recovery time faster if you have no complications, but you still need to discuss this issue with your doctor, and to see your doctor post op to be sure that the healing process has gone without complications.

I am a doctor, but this is only an answer to your question in an open forum. Do not take it as advice. Please consult a doctor in person for your health related problems.
After appendix operation your body will be healed completely in 8 weeks. By key hole if you mean Laproscopic operation then there is less chance of complication. So in general it is possible and safe to get pregnant 2 months after the surgery.
But to be on the safe side please consult a gynecologist.
