How long off work is needed? Laparoscopy booked in
I am due to have my first
laparoscopy
on 20th September. I’m nervous about how long I will need off work and also loss of pay. Can someone enlighten me on how much time they needed and what sick pay is like? Thankyou!

Enlarged Spleen
I've had one
laparoscopy
to remove endo (1st one) and one diagnostic recently that identified ovaries, uterus and bowel are fused. I have deep infiltrating endo in the rectovaginal area and possibly in my womb.

reoccurrent miscarriage & endo
I had a
laparoscopy
last week, I was lucky as it was only one month after suspecting I could have endo. Although I think it was the cause of my 6 miscarriages and 2 failed ivf attempts.

Next steps??
Hey, I had my first
laparoscopy
yesterday for an endometrioma, but found stage 4 endo. I don’t have much info as my surgeon isn’t very communicative, but I do know that my uterus was fused to my bowel and my ovaries also had to be freed from something.

does your period ever wait for you?
It doesn’t help that although endo was heavily indicated on MRI I’m still waiting for specialist appointment and possibly
laparoscopy
so I don’t even have an official diagnosis.

Ectopic pregnancy- hope please
I can’t face a third
laparoscopy
recovery within matter of 6-12 months if I have another ectopic needing surgery! Especially with complications I’ve had post op. But IVF is no guarantee and may go through all that again to still have ectopic pregnancy. Or have no success.

pregnancy and spotting
First time was when I was still on the waiting list for
laparoscopy
to remove endo. We miscarried at 8wks unfortunately. Now that endo is gone after surgery, I was thinking we would have a better chance to carry pregnancy to term.

IVF & work
I will probably need a
laparoscopy
in the near future and should also be starting ivf within the next 6 months. Did anyone on here tell their work about ivf? Or is it best to keep it quiet? Do workplaces have policies on needing time off for fertility treatments?

Post laparoscopy anxieties
I'm about a week post-op from my first
laparoscopy
which found stage 2 endo. In general, it was a good surgery and my pain is about manageable now. I'm still not overly mobile and can't bend down or anything so still relying on my partner to help me with a lot of things around the house.

Cyst, not endometrioma
However, as it is not affecting me in any way at all, and because it took me so long (over 6 months) to get over the
laparoscopy
, I'm hesitant to get it done. If or when it bursts cannot be predicted, or how bad the outcome will be.

Newbie in town
I have been diagnosed during my
laparoscopy
at the end of October 2023. I was dealing with pain for years now which included finding out many drugs that I am allergic to... I haven't heard from the gynecology yet, but after the surgery I was told they found some endometriosis.

Laparoscopy 4 months ago privately and problem has returned
I had my second
laparoscopy
in May this year. I paid privately as I am undergoing fertility treatment and needed my tube sorting to be able to carry on. Going in to the operation I was told I would either have my tube clipped or removed depending on what could be done.

Guys Hospital Endometriosis Clinic - any experience
I was diagnosed by
laparoscopy
in 2020 after 20 years of symptoms and have had pain since which has been dismissed by my current consultant - but a recent ultrasound has found considerable fibroids and retroverted uterus - both of which are consistent with the pain I am having!

Even without any evidence of endo on the MRI, if its there could they still find it by doing a
laparoscopy
? Thankyou ❤️

bruise like pain around scars
hi I had my
laparoscopy
in April and have 4 insertion sites. All sites have healed fine but I get pain like bruising pain in between two of the insertion scars- does anyone else get this? I’m sure it’s just internal healing / scar tissue . Thanks

bloating
hi all, looking for some advice - I have suspected endo awaiting
laparoscopy
and have had symptoms for around 8 years. I’ve noticed bloating has been worse in the past year & it’s getting to the point where I’m so bloated and uncomfortable I’m getting stretch marks on my stomach.
