Hi all well today is the day I get my laparoscopy to see if I have endometriosis and to sort it if I have I am so scared of everything the pain the getting put to sleep not being able to do much because of the pain and the dizziness I feel like crying haha any advice on a quick less painful recovery wish me luck 🙁

Good luck, everything will be fine. Trust in the doctors and look forward to hopefully having a diagnosis. It's completely normal to be nervous but think positive and it will be over in no time. Best wishes xxx

No problem at all. Deep breaths and positive thoughts. It's all for the best - your putting your health first which is the right thing to do xxx

Good luck, hope it goes well. I had a really positive experience & for me it was a lot less painful than a bad flare up, I hope this helps. Don’t forget to ask any questions and speak to them about any pain medications you may need after. Stay strong x

👍 just try and breathe and magazine maybe I know the waiting feeling it’s horrible and the mind wonders but it’ll pass before you know it then you’ll have answers 😊 x

It's totally natural to be scared. You'd be weird if you weren't! But it will quickly be just a memory. I had my lap just over 2 weeks ago and already feel like it's ancient history. It's hard but you can trust the experts to take good care of you. And the pain can be managed with medication. Most importantly, remember you're doing this because it's going to make you feel much better in the long term. All the best for a speedy recovery xx

Hello Thankyou for your reply I had my op yesterday at quarter past 2 I didn’t really get any wind pain just my stomach is quite painful to move they didn’t find anything so I’m not back to square one to figure out what’s causing my pain xx

[Hannah0091 in reply to Everlast]

Hey, just wanted to say, unfortunately this does happen where they say they don’t find anything. Your pain is valid hope your okay. Hope you have a smooth recovery and lots of rest. Stay strong X

It's really scary but it's so worth it. I really didn't want to have the surgery (again) and sobbed as they put me to sleep but I'm so glad I did it as I have less pain and more answers now. When you wake up you'll be so high you wont care about anything! Just rest up for a week and take lots of painkillers (senna too if you're taking codine - TRUST ME). Best of luck xx
