I had my gallbladder out and it was the best thing I did, no more pain even from drinking water. I haven't been diagnosed with Endo but can tell you the after the op was nothing compared with a period, easy as. Periods for me are much much worse.

Good luck with the op

I feel great!! Had my op letter come through for endo also for 26th of this month. Which is in 2 weeks. Called them up to confirm app and they've cancelled me because i cant have anaesetic again so soon and wont be healed internally in time.

Typical wait 11 months for endo op then it has get cancelled.

Think ill wait til after xmas now as it completely ruined last christmas and made me so low, i couldnt handle it.

Time off work,stress etc.

What are they like ay. Hope your doing well xxx

lets hope the next one goes as well. i dont blame u for wanting to wait til after christmas now. last year was pretty rough for you so would be nice for you to enjoy christmas this year. ive just had a couple of scans to see what is still going on. ended up with daily pains after my last lap. going back to see consultant end of the month. never ending aint it! how have u been managing with your endo symptoms with all this going on?

Well i came on 2 days post gb op and jeez i knew about it.

But can have inbrufen and codeine again as gb was been affected by these meds so was alot easier to medicate the pain.

Im still on now which is strange as period is normally 3 days. So think the op has sent it out of whack.

Im glad your gettin seen hun. Its a slow process but at least were in the system now xxx

Hi I had my gallbladder removed last Oct and I know it's easy for me to say but it is only a small op. I was better within a couple of days I didn't feel much discomfit at all. You will feel loads better and it's all done thro keyhole now you heal pretty quickly. It's just a spanner in the works having endo and gallstones. Sorry to hear but I promise you the op will be all worth while x

Hi

After the gall bladder removal I put my weight back on gradually and could eat without pain. Heaven 😀

I had to play about a little with my diet to start with but find that eating regularly . Three small meals and snacking on fruit in between.drinking plenty of water and eating minimal red meat was solution.

Gp also gave me omeprazole for first few months and this helped with lose bowels from bile. But I found I was able to stop taking this once I had got my diet right.

Good luck.

Thank you for your advice im recovering well. Little sore but feels like ive done 100 sot ups atm. Am the trapped wind too.

No need another op to unstick bowel an remove endo . But im done this year for ops. So goin push it back. One a year is enough.

Looking forward to been able eat anything other than ham sandwiches
