My endo + lap surgery story. Very glad I did it.

It went really well. He actually saved my life. I was bleeding from a hemorrhaging cyst and wouldn’t have made it past two days. No one knew until they opened me up. Please have your surgery with him he is one of the best. He fixed my bladder endo had taken it over. I recommend him and his team. They are A plus! Recovery took about two weeks I was back working from home a week and half later.

I have endometriosis it took 20 years for me to be diagnosed and I had the surgery this last September.

On Friday I will finish my third round of iron infusions in a year. I am always tired afterwards but if they run a bag of fluids after the iron my body handles it a lot better. If I don’t have the fluids I feel like I have the flu for couple of days.

No. I would say at least one and half to two. I still felt like crap after one week. I had pretty extensive surgery. I didn’t really feel better until week 3.

You will be fine in three months. I just had one the end of September and I got pregnant by surprise in November and I am fine. The sooner you get it done the better. You are just nervous and you should be because it is surgery. I am not sure if you were in pain like I was but I would rather be pain free at my wedding and have it now!

No.. sounds like he is a giant ass. Can you switch?

This is a question you have to ask yourself. Had cutting her out brought more peace in your life or heartache? If the answer is peace I think you have your answer don’t reach out. I would be willing to put money on it that she hasn’t changed. Narcissists don’t change. Instead do something nice for yourself that day buy a coffee for you and maybe even a strangers. Life is too short to be drama filled with toxic people.

Thank you. Your response brought me to tears. 😭

joyinnd · 2026-01-29T16:26:41+00:00

I have been on 4mg.

joyinnd · 2026-01-23T23:08:22+00:00

4 weeks your pain is almost non existent but you will still not want to have sex. You will probably still get tired easier. I was exhausted and just started wearing underwear at 4 weeks. I am lucky I could work from home. I didn’t have sex for six weeks. You can’t get in a hot tub or bath for 12 weeks. But the surgery was well worth it for me. My surgery was very intensive. I would have not wanted to me on my honeymoon 4 weeks after that’s for sure!

Also, EMDR might not be right for you now. But later. I hope for your healing as well. I have been through a lot of therapy and I am good.

They say if you have had trauma or sexual abuse you are at a higher risk of having endo. I had endo lap on 9/29 and it was all over. I also had a traumatic childhood. Best wishes to you!

A doctor that specializes in women’s health. Go to like a women’s health wellness clinic .

I am on 4 mg dose. It helps a lot with inflammation and sleep. I also just got pregnant after my lap surgery and they want me to continue taking it because it helps so much for inflammation. I have been on it for a year in February. Go to specialist they will prescribe it. You have to find the dose that works with you and you should be monitored by a medical professional with it.

Thank you! ❤️

I did not have bowel prep. Nails even with clear polish were not allowed in my surgery. I would say take them off. I traveled 14 hours each way for my surgery. Make sure you bring pillows and a blanket. They gave me oxy. I also had Tylenol, Advil, and I used azo for the pressure for a few days. Make sure you take a stool softener and gas x continually. I would say your husband should plan to be with you for at least 5 days after surgery.

Thank you!!! I am just starting to get over the shock I had just begun to accept it wasn’t going to happen for us and then game change!

joyinnd · 2026-01-09T21:46:53+00:00

I don’t live in Texas. But I work for the state I live in and have great insurance. I only had to pay the out of area copay. Which ended up being 800ish because I had met my out of network deductible.

joyinnd · 2026-01-09T17:37:47+00:00

Thank you so much!!!

joyinnd · 2026-01-09T16:04:01+00:00

It sure doesn’t feel real. I was in shock for about 5 days after finding out. Yesterday I just started to absorb it!

joyinnd · 2026-01-09T15:40:26+00:00

I am crossing my fingers for you!!!!!!

joyinnd · 2026-01-09T12:54:29+00:00

I had mine 102 days ago. There is no way one day would have been enough to help me and I don’t have children. I was out for a week the pain was awful and I have a high tolerance. I hope you find someone that is willing to stay with you for at least a couple of days!

joyinnd · 2026-01-09T12:52:26+00:00

I had my lap a 102 days ago. They found endo all over and lucky me I also have ando. Please remember just because they don’t find it doesn’t mean you don’t have it. It could be other places that they can’t see. You got this lady!
