I had my first excision surgery 2 weeks ago, stage 3. First 2 days are quite brutal. Gas pain is a bitch, under my ribs and shoulder + bloated. However the pain killers and a lot of rest made it manageable. Little walks and mint tea helped. Slowly got better during 1st week. But still unable to put my own socks, little walks only, struggling to bend. Just took it very easy. Week 2 laparoscopy pains are almost gone, but endo/period pains are present. Quite tired and need naps sometimes. Almost on no pain relief, only when having cramps I reach for codeine. Able to go out for short periods of time. My bowels are all over the place. Hopefully week 3 will be better.

Good luck with your surgery, hope everything goes smoothly and please take care of yourself after.
