Surgery

[Aardvarks]

I have just woken up properly from surgery, I’ve been out since 4pm (I think) on and off.

I’m not currently on any painkillers (that I know of) and I feel fine.

My surgery was a bit more complex, because of being diabetic they had be come in the day before. Not going to lie, fasting was AWFUL.

I am currently at the specialist centre in London (UCLH) and had removal of endometriosis, draining of cyst, unbinding of ovaries and bowel. Thankfully I have woken up without a stoma, not sure if I have any bladder stents or both my ovaries yet… the doctor did come round but I barely comprehended his name so he is coming back tomorrow.

So far, despite being sick and pooping in my bed, I’m pretty darn happy 😃

Hey Aardvarks, I hope your recovery and surgery went well. I am also 28 and under UCLH with severe endo. I have had two endo surgeries and they have not been able to remove everything. Now I am due to have my third surgery in a few months as i have nodules on my bowel that may also require a stoma bag. How long did you have to stay in hospital and did you feel that surgery helped your symptoms?

Never heard about the stoma bag and endo. Endo does look like cancer OMG.
