So this is my first lap and I’ve been diagnosed with widespread endometriosis. Quite a lot was done in my lap, all visible endometriosis was excised apparently and a couple of organs were unstuck on the left hand side.
prior to my lap I had severe pain and symptoms. My whole pelvis felt full, swollen and inflamed. The pain was always worse on the left hand side and they found endometriosis all over my uterosacral ligaments, pouch of Douglas etc.
I am 2 weeks post lap and have not had this miraculous experience that I see others talk about on the Nancy Nook group where they wake up totally pain free and knew the endo had gone.
I am still in a lot of pain, worse on my left side just like before the lap. My report says all visible endometriosis excised so I don’t know if this is normal?
My bladder is still not functioning properly. I still have gut issues. I don’t feel all that much different to prior to the surgery. Is there still hope that things will improve? I don’t know what’s normal.
