Lap and Dye

So i had my first lap and dye yesterday, i have been waiting many years for this and it was done and i finally have been diagnosed with endo.. i have been ttc for years too and was hoping that i could get pregnant after i have the op like so mant other stories i have read... but the lady who did the op was a general gynae not endo specialist so she revealed i had endo stuck to my bladder and bowels. . but she said it was too risky to remove and that there was a kink in my left tube... so i guess i need further surgery... 😭 my question is do i have a chance to get pregnant now even if they didnt actually do anything.... i could and have cried alot... help xxx

I’m glad you got answers to endo but it’s a shame she could not fix it you could potentially try for a baby if you wantI suggest if you do you also get a referral for another lap as she can’t really leave you like that and it needs fixing x

Thanks for the reply, i think she has referred me for a specialist which was my 3rd consutant the one who was actually meant to do the surgery himself, i have lost alot of hope in the nhs to be honest. I am still going to carry on trying though becuase of the amount of time its taken just to get here. Seems stupid really having my first op to tell me i have severe endo and not actually remove any. gutted. x

This is what they offered me but I refused and asked for a specialist as I knew they would not treat it right I’m so sorry your going through this I’ve waited a year so far and am only just getting a referral I didn’t want them to just diagnose as it’s an operation at the end of the day I know I’ve got it in my head I don’t need anyone to confirm it I just want it treated telling me will be a bonus but I don’t doubt my instinct I had a baby but misscarried I’m told an op is a better option but I will probably keep trying anyway

aw thats awful, so sorry for your loss. The whole situation is upsetting really having to deal with the horrific pain whilst dealing with that heartbreak too. I had a miscarriage 6 years ago and havent managed to fall again since. I kept getting transfered from one hosp to another last year and finally was satisfied when i had a specialist prepared to do it but when thw actual date came through i just jumped on it... basically just sick of waiting really. I should have waited a few more months for sure. I guess the only hope i can take is they know exactly what they are removing when they get there again. i doubt i will get pregnant in between but there is always hope. xxx

You would think so all that will hopefully be discussed in your pre op I know sometimes I think back thinking should I have had that laprascopy but my instinct told me no I might have been in a worse situation if I did I think how desperate I am now I should have took it but they may have just burnt it off and made it worse or done nothing so I’m glad I m waiting im told 9 month wait I’m hoping things work out as I’ve not had anything but ultrasound to prove it

You are defo doing the right thing by waiting.. and it will work out for you better by waiting. I just took it out of desperation completely. I even went mad yest coming out of it realising she didnt remove any... my husband basically had to restrain me but like you say its better not to have it at all than wrong.... Im hoping now they can see how bad and spread out it is they may get me in quicker now.

And agreed, you do just know you have it when you do... It is very clear symptoms so its rubbish they have to see it to believe it themselves. . like we all just love making up pain thats not there... xx
