I have newly been diagnosed, after years of being pushed around by one specialist to another.
On the 9th March I have a lapasophy op, fingers crossed, i am alittle worried as I've never had a op before, also I hope I will feel better afterwards and be out of pain at last.
Fingers crossed π

I wanted to reply and try to put your mind at ease. I don't like operations but my lap was fine. I didn't get much bloating after and the little holes they'd been in through healed really well and quickly. I didn't get pain from surgery (I went to Brussels for a boosy weekend a few days after...!).
What I'd say about the endo pain is that it's different for everyone, mine didn't go away but I didn't go to the right surgeon. If I had my time again I'd go to a specialist centre. If you are then I think you'll be fine and much better fingers crossed.
Thank you both, I am hoping to be back to work 5 days later, they said I should be ok.
The clinic is a women's wellbeing one seem pretty good there considering all I did was describe my symptoms and she diagnosed me π also she had it herself too which put me at ease too.
I am worried as I have belly button issues... π I know everyone laughs when I say it but I do!. And when I wake up I am going to feel like it's been raped π
Thanks again, still really nervous tho but positive π will keep you posted on how i get on xx
Ha no I totally get the belly button thing, I likened it to some kind of surgery you'd see in the x files. However Mulder and Scully didn't attend (disappointing) and I didn't even notice they'd been in there really
I would say two weeks is what you'll be advised to take off work... I have heart issues so had 4 weeks off but I could've gone back to work sooner from the lap point of view.
Don't rush, some people get bloating badly and you will still have some little wounds that need to heal.
