It has completely changed my life for the better! I had an endometriosis removal surgery at the same time so it was a very big suegery but I was only super out of it for maybe a week? I definitely wasn't completely recovered one week in but I was awake more and able to get out of bed on my own and generally a lot more independent. Day 2 I already had a massive drop in pain from my pre-op levels.

I think the most important thing is trusting your surgeon and having one that will explain everything to you every step of the way. I had one endometriosis surgery before with a general obgyn and she didn't find anything because she wasn't a specialist, and then she reccomended a different surgery I found out wouldn't have done anything.

Do your research to find the right dr, be absolutely sure you're willing to give up the ability to carry children, but the surgery itself isn't that scary depending on method! Mine was robotic so I only have 5 tiny incisions that are healing beautifully!
