Experiences with

Laparoscopy

hi everyone, i finally have a date in September for my first laparoscopy and im a little bit in the dark. Does anyone have any general advice? Are you able to wear underwear during the surgery, like do they go near your vagina?

The promised laparoscopy. Two ovaries were found fixed to the ligaments /back of uterus. They managed to unfix them both but couldn’t continue with the operation due to the extend of the damage. I’m now being told I have to await another MRI to show the extend of the damage to major organs.

I have diagnosed endometriosis, it was found on my ovaries during a laparoscopy. I am on a waiting list for a second laparoscopy. But my concern is they will not look if endometriosis has grown elsewhere.

On Friday 13th (now considered the luckiest day in my life) I went for my laparoscopy and they found A LOT (surgeon’s words) of endometriosis which they managed to get out.

Hi guys, Just had my surgery, I’ve been having pain on the right side of my stomach and they found that my colon and ovary was stuck to my left pelvic wall could this be causing the pain? They also found adhesions on my uterus which have been removed and they are unsure if it is endometriosis but I

I’m booked in for my op and I’m so scared of the answers and my future with it. I’ve been waiting for this for so long and I’m at the age where I want kids. I’m so scared to hear if I can’t have kids and it’s mentally taking a huge toll on my life. All my friends are at this stage and living the life

My final question is those who have been Endo Warriors longer than me, is having another Laparoscopy in the future something that happens even though they removed the endometriosis, does it come back after x amount of time?

Hi all, I had a diagnostic laparoscopy on Monday (today being Friday) and had two parts of endometriosis removed from the pelvic wall.

Hi all , I’m just wondering if anyone in the uk has recently paid private for a laparoscopy ? If so , how much did it cost and how long did you have to wait for a surgery date ? Thanks Tina

I’m struggling to make a decision between getting the Mirena or doing the laparoscopy. I have struggled for very long with pain and was never diagnosed. It has now severely impacted my digestive tract. Will just doing Mirena improve or maintain symptoms.

Im 4 weeks post endometriosis laparoscopy today. They found deep lesions in my pouch of Douglas, on a nerve and on the uterosacral ligament. Im on a patient lead follow up for 6 months but my question really is at what point do i reach out to them?

Laparoscopy carried out and I had adhesions unstuck, biopsies taken but due to what he’s found I now have to be referred to an endo specialist, funny how the other gynae told me the lap would be a waste of time!

hi everyone, Before my laparoscopy, like many of us, i was severely scared they wouldn’t find anything because of the doubting doctors but fast forward post laparoscopy and a diagnosis of stage 2/3 with successful excision complete. Recovery is very tough but hopefully worth it.

Hi, I had a laparoscopy a couple of days ago and they told me they found a few patches of endo on back of my uterus & my fallopian tube is blocked. The surgeon didn’t give much info on this he just said he’s referring me to a fertility specialist.

After my laparoscopy on Wednesday which showed no signs of endometriosis I have decided to book an appointment with a specialist. I want to get a second opinion on what might be causing my symptoms.

Hello everyone, Some of you may be aware that I went into hospital yesterday for a hysteroscopy, a laparoscopy and the removal of a small uterine polyp. I thought it might be helpful to just explain how I chose to manage my steroids over this period of time.

I’ve been booked in for laparoscopy pre op can anyone tell me what is involved please?

I had a laparoscopy 2 years ago to have endometriosis removed and was so much better afterwards.Recently I've been struggling with pelvic pains quite regularly and am worried perhaps it's come back? Has anyone had it removed twice?

Hi lovelies, Just wondering if anyone’s mental health took a decline after having your laparoscopy, I suffer with severe anxiety anyway but since having my op I feel so low, so upset and anxious all the time.

Hey, I’m due my 3rd Laparoscopy in December. My first 2 have been ordinary extraction surgeries where the surgeon has removed my endometriosis themselves (I’m not sure the name of this haha).
