When you say Birmingham Women's do you mean the endo centre under Mr Yousri Afifi?

Hi I am 2 days post surgery I was really nervous also which is completely understandable IV never been put to sleep etc they were soo nice explained everything I went down and woke 2 hours later so I have endo on my bowel and diafrpham he said there was alot of scarring I'm going to be starting IVF so his main priority was cysts and tubes and my womb he did as much as he could but said I wud need a bowel surgeon in on the op as that is not his field but maybe sumink to ask about as I might have to go thru another op in the future. I read other peoples comments and was worried about the pain IV been a bit tender apart from that IV been fine and moving about better than I thought toilet and back even still jus lots of rest u will be fine good luck

[Rookery17 in reply to Gem657]

Hey jus wondered how did u get on? X

[Gem657 in reply to Rookery17]

Hi rookery thanks for checking in so kind of you, surgery itself was uneventful, no endo found. Now looking at possible bladder damage from c section. Or IC. Now endometriosis ruled out I'm feeling ok apart from aches and feverish shivers, how are you? Xx

[Rookery17 in reply to Gem657]

That's good news on the endo thou all bless u jus rest up take the rest u need Yea I'm ok back to work now but having to wait for MRI scan to make sure nothing more sinister is happening which is upsetting jus gota roll with it I guess

Hope u feel better soon xx
