Thinking of you - I'm having my 3rd tomorrow! Even when you know what to expect it is a big thing having a GA. Is there anything in particular that youre nervous about? I'm trying to visualise a new me in the new year, feeling better and full if energy. Hope it all goes smoothly.

Hi ladies my names is Misty... I've dealt with for the last 10 almost 11 years.... I have been to 6 different doctors even went out if town thinking someone Would help, but no nothing no help at all besides giving pain meds which like you said didn't even take the edge off... I have had 4 surgeries to remove the endo including a hystorectomy last yr which didn't help one bit because the idiot Dr left my ovaries because he said I only had a few spot if endo and he took care of it... Obviously when he did that he should have known as long as the ovaries are there it will continue to return.... So sure enough two Weeks after surgery I was hurting again:(.... Well I went to my family Dr because of the pain patting that maybe he could see something that the others didn't see had a ct scan and he referred me to another gyno.... I was so iffy about going to yet another Dr that probably tell me the same thing but I went anyway well I went in and sat there from 1-6:30 to be seen... When she finally came in she did a pelvic exam and pressed on my stomach a little horrible pain enough to low on the bed and cry the whole time... She told me she wanted a ultrasound and a ct... I told her I had just had one done a couple months before so she told me to bring her the report so I did even better I brought her every ct and alysa's I had had from the last 4 yrs...wow that was a stack... Well she finally called and said she wanted me to come in for yet another ultrasound which was also so painful I could barely lie through!! Well as soon as that was fine the Dr cane in and looked at the report and said ok I saw a spot in the abdominal wahl on one of the ultrasound from before your hysto the spot is small about 2x2 by 2x2 cm... Well she looked at thsame spot on the ultrasound I had just had and it had grown to 3x6 inches in a year time... She scheduled me for a lap for that Friday to go in and see and remove it!! Well i went in on a Friday morning in October it was suppose to be about a45 min surgery well I came out almost 5 hrs later with my stomach cut from one side to the other... She had to take 18 inches across my stomach and 6 inches up and down from the abdominal wall took so much out she had to pretty much do a tummy tuck so I would have a flap of skin hanging down....they removed my left ovary which was encased in endo and she cut out my csection scar and removed some small spots in the abdomen.. She said it was the worst case she had ever seen and didn't know how I've felt with the pain ask these years.... I'm sharing my story ladies because there us hope I have been smart 2 months with no pain it is a amazing feeling!! she told me that alot if 411 don't look in the abdominal wahl when you say you are hurting they always assume its in the abdomen not the wall.... It took 10 long years for someone to finally figure out what was right in front of them the while time... Good luck ladies and maybe you can use this story to help you out...i wouldn't wish endo on my worst enemy!! Typing on a phone so I'm sure there are plenty of typos
