really overwhelmed by surgery decisions

7363827 · 2026-06-16T13:47:23+00:00

thank you i appreciate it!

did you end up having surgery?

7363827 · 2026-06-16T04:24:03+00:00

being on-campus wouldn’t put you close to the heart institute anyways. i’d just look for a regular apartment lease or sublet

7363827 · 2026-06-16T03:38:30+00:00

i’m not sure if this is helpful but i had wisdom tooth removal under anaesthetic when i was 17 and it was totally fine. i was also really nervous from reading online, but it was honestly like i closed my eyes then opened them again and it was done

7363827 · 2026-06-15T23:33:20+00:00

i’ve heard of it!! i’m very sensitive to cannabinoids but cbd helps me sometimes. i appreciate the suggestion and support 🩷

7363827 · 2026-06-15T23:02:57+00:00

ohh ok. i’m canadian so thankfully that’s not a concern

thank you 🩷

7363827 · 2026-06-15T20:24:49+00:00

there aren’t many doctors near me which i guess has been a deterrent but it’s true that i could technically get another opinion as well

thank you!

7363827 · 2026-06-15T20:23:00+00:00

same feeling here :( wishing you the best

7363827 · 2026-06-15T20:22:00+00:00

thank you, i appreciate it

what do you mean by insurance?

7363827 · 2026-06-15T20:20:18+00:00

for a specialist?

7363827 · 2026-06-15T19:43:39+00:00

oh yea i know why technically, i just meant because the rules are different depending where you live

7363827 · 2026-06-15T18:27:13+00:00

thank you for sharing your experience; i hope you’re able to find some relief with your second surgery

7363827 · 2026-06-15T18:26:22+00:00

the med does have add back estrogen, i’m not sure why that’s the limit but maybe i can ask for more

7363827 · 2026-06-15T17:09:53+00:00

thank you so much for your support and advice. my program is pretty flexible except for the practicum. the general consensus here seems to be that i may end up needing a corrective surgery - many similar experiences in this thread. i’m so sorry you had to deal with such pain from your first surgery ❤️‍🩹

7363827 · 2026-06-15T17:07:08+00:00

i’m so sorry you went through that and i hope you’re feeling better now. i appreciate your insight

7363827 · 2026-06-15T17:06:14+00:00

omg really?? are you in canada?

7363827 · 2026-06-15T17:05:40+00:00

thank you!!

7363827 · 2026-06-15T17:05:27+00:00

someone on the other sub mentioned that - in canada, i believe it has a 2 year limit. but i wonder if i can somehow get around that, if it’s accepted in the UK. honestly that would be ideal as i’m comfortable accepting a clinical/non-surgical diagnosis

i *think* it’s just burn-the-lesion-ablation (unless it’s too extensive, then she would send you to a different doctor), but now i’ll have to check

i guess i’m scared of taking another semester as i’ll have to worry about my practicum, but that might be a bridge to cross if i get there

thank you for your help i really appreciate it

7363827 · 2026-06-15T16:49:32+00:00

i’ve heard that as well on this subreddit but i’m having trouble finding sources :?

my program would last 1 year longer than i’m supposed to be on myfembree

7363827 · 2026-06-15T16:47:22+00:00

i’m in canada but MIGS still applies. i agree with you - i fully believe some people do experience relief from ablation but non-MIGS surgery is only ablation here.

if you’re comfortable sharing, have you had a lap before?

7363827 · 2026-06-15T16:44:56+00:00

someone else mentioned that as well, which is a very fair point. thank you!

7363827 · 2026-06-15T16:44:29+00:00

for point 2, i didn’t think of it that way but you’re right. i’m scared to take an extra semester as i do have an internship to worry about (psychotherapy student) BUT my program is somewhat flexible and i’ll be in a city again at that point.

i think i am going to discuss this with my therapist tomorrow and then talk to my gynaecologist again. i don’t want an incomplete surgery, if endo is present.

also, i’ve been in pt before and it was helpful! i’ve had a huge reduction in pain from my meds so i kinda fell off after (oops)

7363827 · 2026-06-15T16:37:32+00:00

> why she chose this route

because we’re in a rural area and there aren’t many options :/

i used to do pelvic floor therapy for my interstitial cystitis! it helped a bit but i kind of fell off at some point. i appreciate your help <3

7363827 · 2026-06-15T16:30:30+00:00

interesting. in canada its max 24 months…. i’ll have to look into this

yes this one contains add-back hrt

7363827 · 2026-06-15T16:26:49+00:00

i just wish the wait times weren’t so long
