Hey guys just wondered if anyone else has been taken back for another lap?

just found out today they want me to do another one and at first I was happy because it felt like they where doing something but now I'm worried like why would they want to do another one?

Hi hun

They probably just want to double check they haven't missed anything and if u do have endo they know exactly where and to what stage. Try and not worry too much as it's good they want to again and relook. Hope all goes well for u xx

Oh well that's good!! I just wondered why they where doing another one if they already know I have endo from my first lap ... I'm a worryer haha xxx

A lot of times the first lap is just to look around. Not all doctors will remove endo when they first see it OR it's too much for them to handle in their allotted surgery time. Then they give you another lap to go in and remove what they found. Which I think is kinds silly, as it means double the time off from work and more possible scarring. Oh well. Lots of luck to you. :)

Hi Georgia, when ?you had your lap, did your surgeon remove any endo or just diagnose, if he removed where from? And where did he say he found it, how did you find out they want to do another lap, in person or post, have you had ️follow up appointment??
