How many times?

Hi everyone, just a quick question.

How many of you have had a second laparoscopy to burn the endo? And how soon after the first lap was it?

I'm just curious because there are talks of them doing a second lap whilst we figure out more permanent measures. I just wondered if it was something that was done often or not

Thanks!

Em :)

I had an excision surgery within a BSGE centre in April ‘15 but unfortunately my endo returned at the end of that year and I needed a further excision surgery in August ‘16.

Unfortunately none of the treatments to slow the reoccurrence of my endo have helped. I think it’s not unusual to undergo repeat surgeries, depending on the severity of your endo xxx
