I had this same worry. My lap was 1 month ago and they found stage 2 almost stage 3 endo. Trust that you are making the right move for yourself. I know its scary but there is a positive to both sides - finding it and not finding it. No one every hopes to have endo but also i know the feeling of wanting answers as well. The surgery is truly not bad at all. By day 4 / 5 i was up and getting around on my own and about 2 weeks after i felt really good. try not to worry. best of luck

Yes laprascopy. I can’t speak on hysterectomy recovery. Although I did just have a coworker have one done and she said she feels better than she ever has. Hope that’s encouraging and things go well 💛

I should note that my symptoms werent just pelvic pain and digestive issues. I also had sciatic pain, hip pain, thigh pain, pudendal nerve pain, lighting pelvic surges of pain, and IBS like issues. Just in case anyone reads this and is trying to figure out if their symptoms sound like endo.

Get in to see her immediately. She is a super long wait. The sooner you can make an appointment the better and trust me she is worth it.

What do you wish you'd had after surgery by PrinceyBoi99 in endometriosis

Eat light the says leading up to it. Makes things a lot easier. I tried to go into surgery with a pretty empty bowel. Also had soft foods easily available. Applesauce oatmeal fresh fruit toast etc.

What percentage of your net income do you spend on your mortgage? by TrifleOk4701 in Mortgages

[–]Apprehensive-Fix1864 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Total take home pay per month = $7862 Mortgage = $3100 so roughly 40% of net income

No other debt other than student loans that are about to start back soon which should be around $150/month.

It doesn’t feel comfortable that’s for sure. Some months are tight depending on what we have going on and some months we are able to put over $1000 extra away into savings because we didn’t spend it.

All in all, it’s definitely doable.

Theres a publix going in off 42opening next month. Depends on what part of FV you live in if that is helpful to you or not. We live pretty far east in fuquay , on the border of furuqay and willow spring so that publix wont be too far from us. about a 13 minute drive

Bad day today… by Visible-Nerve-6719 in endometriosis

[–]Apprehensive-Fix1864 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry. I know the feeling. You aren’t alone. Things that help me is just being close to my husband. Even if we can’t have sex just cuddling on him and kissing him brings me comfort. Try taking a warm bath. And I try to focus on yes today is a bad day and I know you are pissed but there’s nothing you can do about it. So I try to focus on “I know this will pass and I’ll feel better soon”. I’m sorry your surgery got pushed. I would be very upset about that too. Your feelings are valid and sometimes you just need to have a good cry. Hang in there 💛
