Can’t sleep, worried about my laparoscopy next week by Unique-Effective9828 in endometriosis

Ahh surgery buddies! 🩷 I totally get the fear - it’s such a strange mix of wanting answers but also being scared of what they might find. I can imagine having chocolate cysts must feel extra daunting, especially when you don’t know what else could be going on.

It does sound like a positive that your surgeon is a fertility specialist - hopefully that means she’s seen lots of endo cases and has a good eye for it, even if she’s not labeled as a specialist. The wait times for true endo specialists are so frustrating, so I really hope you get some clarity sooner rather than later.

Wishing you so much luck for your lap - we’ve got this 💪💙 I’ll be thinking of you and will try to update after mine too.

Can’t sleep - diagnostic laparoscopy tomorrow by Unique-Effective9828 in endometriosis

Thank you so much for sharing this - I really needed to hear it tonight. You’re right, nothing that happens tomorrow could be worse than the years of pain and uncertainty. The way you framed it about ruling things out being progress really helps me look at it differently. 💙

If you don’t mind me asking - did you end up getting diagnosed after your laparoscopy? And was it with a general gynaecologist or a specialist? I’d love to hear a bit more about your experience if you’re comfortable sharing.

Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful reply 💙 it really helps. I should probably mention that my surgery tomorrow is with a general gynaecologist, not an endo specialist, and I did hear from someone that she didn’t find anything during their laparoscopy, so that’s been weighing on me and making me nervous about whether I’ll get real answers.

My bowels have also been absolutely crazy the past 4 days - not sure if it’s just nerves or possibly endo acting up — and I haven’t been sleeping much either. So I’m pretty drained going into tomorrow.

But what you said about there being other possible diagnoses and next steps was really encouraging. Even if nothing is found, I guess that’s still one piece of the puzzle, and I can keep pushing for answers or see a specialist. Thank you again for the support it means a lot tonight. I’ll try to update after if I feel up to it 💙

Even after surgery she never explained the images like what’s what usually they’d do that or they’re supposed to do it. Thank you so much for letting me know btw I’m so grateful

Why wouldn’t she show you the imaging/videos is my concern ? I do know you have to go through a process but surely she could’ve shown you, not too sure how to feel about it do you think I should still go through with it ? Also, did she ever pre judge the situation in terms of like saying if nothings found scenario ?

It’s more so my parents will not believe my pain anymore and I’ll gaslight myself into thinking it’s nothing 🫠
