Recovering ...

Had my diagnostic lap on Monday and came round after 3 hours in theatre - consultant came to see me and explain surgery

I had extensive adhesyolosis - adhesions had stuck my ovaries to my bowel and we're all over ovaries, tubes, bowel and liver but I've not got endo! ( or have I and its been missed)

In a lot of pain so resting and taking it easy will be nicer when shoulder eases from trapped gas

Hope u are all well today x

Thanks lindle - I will do that and make sure I keep a diary of my symptoms - I still have the same pain in my left side I had before I went in as well

Got to go back in 6 weeks to see them so will take all info with me and request copies of all reports

Thanks again x

Hi hunni sorry you're having a rough time of it and I wish you a speedy recovery. My ovaries are stuck to my bowel too but they have also said that my right ovary is the worst. My cervix is also stuck to my bladder and I also have a lesion on it so I know mine is Endo. Just wondered did you have any symptoms regarding your liver as my adhesions were found on MRI of my pelvis but because my pain is also in my upper right they think it could also be effecting my liver too. Hope you feel better soon xx

Ps I agree with Lindle, I had a sub total hysterectomy last march by open surgery and they missed my endometriosis and told me my adhesions were minimal, this was done by a general gynaecologist but I am now under a specialist team at Stepping Hill who are now planning more surgery. Good luck with everything xx
