- I'm sharing about my procedure (laparoscopy for endometriosis) as 1 in 10 women have endometriosis and will likely consider this surgery. I am very grateful to be doing well! Thank you for your prayers and support!

I have to be honest, Kristen. Until the part where you revealed the results, I was at the edge of my seat hoping and praying the doctors would say no endo found. I'm so sorry that you had to find out like this. I can't imagine what it's like at that moment when you got the results. But endo or not, you are ultimately a daughter of God. Nothing will ever change that. You are worth more than you could possibly know. I'm glad you're in good hands with your loving husband. Prayers for a speedy recovery.
It was definitely emotional and there were (are) mixed emotions! The diagnosis is sad but actually I'm relieved to know the cause of my years of both fatigue & infertility. Thank you for your kind words and prayers! I hope you're having a beautiful Advent🙏🏽
Thank you for sharing your endo/surgery experience. It has really helped me as I prep for mine coming up. And thank you for sharing your faith.
You're welcome! Thanks for watching. How did it go? I hope you're healing well
So good to get the answer about your health, but still so hard. Your sharing this journey will help so many!
Yes, it's bittersweet! Aw yea, I hope someone benefits from all of the editing I did for this video 😆
I made a video on a similar title and YT suggested this one as,, next,,
so I am here.I was diagnosed with endo 4,3 surgeries,2 lost pregnancies, and 20 years of suffering later i finally managed
to put my illness into remission and i am 3 rd year endo and pain-free.I am living proof that overcoming this illness is possible regardless of what the gurus say and I am not the only one, not the first one, and not the last one.I overcame even my introverted self and create a youtube channel to show the girls how to do it
because it's somehow,, best-kept secret,, either people are profiting from it charging thousands.I encourage you to
watch this video. Great job . Some good gems inside.
I'm so sorry for all that you've been through, especially your losses. I'm glad you're doing well & helping others. Thank you for watching 💛
Thank you so much for this video. I have my lap 1 month from today. I appreciate all your input, and im very nervous, and trying to trust in the Lord.
how was it?
I don't often comment on videos, but I feel like I was meant to find this. I have a laparoscopy at the beginning of next month and only today did it start hitting me that I'm actually going to have the surgery. I started watching your vid in the background while doing some chores around the house before settling down with my husband for the night and when I heard you say "adoration" I stopped in my tracks. Thank you for making this video following your pre-OP and post-OP experience, I've felt some of my nervousness dissipate for now seeing someone else's experience, and I feel so reminded that EVERYTHING is in God's hands and I need not be afraid.
Idk if you regularly scan through all your comments, but if you could pray for this random internet stranger during the first week of August, I'd be beyond grateful.
Thank you so much for sharing! I pray for you all but often don't reply right away (I get notifications on my phone so I can pray right away)! I'm so glad my video brought you some comfort - that was the goal! How did your surgery go? You should be all healed by now... I hope everything went well and you have some answers too! God bless you!
So happy that you have answers. My doctor suspected in the past that I had endo, but I never confirmed with the surgery. Thank you for sharing, I know you are helping many women by doing so. Prayers for continued healing ❤🙏
Thank you so much Ariana💜😊🙏
What a great video! Thank you so much for sharing this. I especially appreciated your mentioning antibacterial soap ... I didn’t even think of that! I’ve got an endometrial excision / cystectomy coming up in a few days, so I’m delighted to find such an informative vid. I’ve been asking Joseph to pray for me because I figure historically he’s always been supportive of women’s issues 😂. Thanks again for taking the time to talk about your experience.
I mean Saint Joseph ... not just some guy named Joseph, haha
Haha I figured you meant St Joseph😊 you're welcome & thank you, that's a good reminder that St. Joseph is a great support for women 💛 I just said a prayer for you & your surgery🙏
Phew, your recovery gives me hope. I am having a hysterectomy on Friday due to fibroids. I was terrified of the gas pain after surgery. I guess it all depends on the technique your surgeon uses. Some people are crying hysterically in 10/10 excruciating pain.
Oh no I didn’t realize that level of pain was a possibility. A friend had the surgery before me and put me at ease. She recovered quickly. I just offered up a prayer for you and your surgery ❤️
I have been praying for you 🙏
I'm pleased that you have a diagnosis, although it sucks.
If I lived near you, I would wait on you hand and foot,and take Scruffy for walks.
Feel better soon, friend.
Oh my goodness, you're so sweet! Thank you for your prayers 💗🙏 I appreciate you! Happy Advent 💜
@@EverydayCatholic Happy Advent to you and your family ❤️
@@EverydayCatholic hi, your vedio made me more comfortable with the idea of getting a laparoscopy too. My dr. Thinks I might have endometriosis but I'm TERRIFY of the procedure. What about months after the procedure, any symptoms? Its almost a year since they told me about laparoscopy but I just too scare to go with it
Hello I apologize but I somehow missed your comment Ms. Ramirez. I don’t have any negative effects after the surgery… only positive - my daughter! I understand that surgery is scary. How are you doing now? I hope you’re having a blessed Easter
So sorry to see the pain you went through. However, am happy you got it done. I hope and pray that God will continue to bless you with good health in mind and body.
Thank you Helen🙏 I am grateful for modern medicine! I hope you have a blessed Advent & Christmas 💜🎄😊🙏
You are welcome. I hope you have a blessed Advent and Christmas as well!
I will be praying for you. Good to see you in great spirits.
Thank you so much Roxanne🙏🏽
Praying for your health and healing!
Thank you so much Mary
I'm also Catholic and having endometriosis surgery next week (April 20th). Please say a prayer for me!
I just prayed for you! Sending you a virtual hug
You're strong! Glad you're ok.
Thank you!
The Luke gospel is my favorite. Glad you like the Bible.
If I have to get the surgery will the site's be sore from waking up from surgery from removing endomeioiss tissue)
For appendix removal I'm going to take laproscopic surgery. Pray for me. I'm a boy🙏.
I prayed for you! How did it go? I hope you're doing okay🙏
I had my laparascopy earlier this year. Unfortunately it did not work well for me, but Im glad yours worked well 😊
Why it not worked well? What happened?
@@vibes811 The pain associated with endometriosis did not go away, and our fertility treatments since have been unsuccessful.
Have you tried herbal medications it worked for me with no side effects
@@gloriawhite2214 how to buy herbal medication plz can you give me any idea plz sister ..!!
I'm so sorry. Have you checked out Nancy's Nook Endometriosis Education? nancysnookendo.com/ They have a master list of approved surgeons that perform excision. Apparently some do not remove all of the diseased tissue and/or use ablation and it grows back quickly. How are you doing now?
Do you have any other videos on post surgery?
I hope you don't mind me asking but was your fatigue your bigger symptom with Endo? Mine is and a lot of drs don't believe I have Endo as I don't experience the amount of pain as the stereotypical patient.
Thank you for sharing your experience. X
This was exactly my experience! I mainly just had fatigue and then infertility. I did not have the stereotypical symptoms (pain) that others have. If your Dr. is not willing to rule out endometriosis, I would seek another opinion. A NaPro Dr especially... fertilitycare.org/find-a-mc
Thanks for sharing! ❤️Which stage of Endo do you have? Was the pain like period cramp or more?
You're welcome. My Dr doesn't like stages but she said I was stage 3/borderline 4. The pain for me was just extremely sore. I hope you're having a great summer!
What is even normal period cramp anyways? I don't even know anymore. I am scheduled for surgery August 22. I always thought my period cramps were normal and that I just needed to toughen up.
Yes, I think this is a problem in our society. A woman’s pain is dismissed and we are told to toughen up. I saw somewhere that a study was done and it revealed that menstrual pain is similar to the pain of a heart attack. Imagine a man experiencing a heart attack and told to toughen up. I hope your surgery went well. How are you doing Amanda?
Please tell me, this was after diagnostic surgery 1 hole? Or is after excision surgery minimum 3 hole? What stage was endo?
Hi! I just had one surgery to diagnose & treat by excision if it was found & it was! My Dr doesn't like stages but she said 3, maybe 4
we have substantial education material available here:
Thank you Nancy for all of the amazing work & advocacy you've done! For anyone reading, I found more info here (off of FB): nancysnookendo.com
How did you shower? Did you have to remove/change the bandage/dressing every time or did you just pat it to dry? Thanks
I remember some kind of glue over each wound.. a surgical glue I guess that covered the sutures. I think I just had to wait 24 hours before showering & I was told to wash above the wounds to let the soap trickle down - repeat with just water - & gently pat dry.
You can ask your doctor if they'll use surgical glue, sutures, adhesive tape, a combination of these, etc
Thanks!
Mass in Latin IS the very best!
Please tell me where do you put ice pack? And where put heating? You are beautifull!
Thank you so much! I put the ice pack around a small towel & placed it right on my incisions. Same with the heat except I didn't need a towel for the heat because I love heat
@@EverydayCatholic thank you so much! We can put hot on incision? In thevfrist day?
I did, yes but I love heat. It's just for pain management so if the heat doesn't feel good, you can just use ice packs. I alternated between hot & cold because both felt good for me😊
Did they remove the endo when they diagnosed? Im going a lap in 3 weeks
Yes! My Dr did excise the diseased tissue & we talked about it beforehand. I learned from the Nancy's Nook endometriosis education group that we need excision not ablation for lasting relief - plus a specialist who specializes in this surgery, not just any obgyn. I said a prayer for you & your surgery🙏
@@EverydayCatholic Thank you so much I just got worried thinking was it just a diagnosis and have to go back again for removal. Its taken me 5 years to finally get this far. Thank you so much
@@mirandakerman3020 you're welcome- definitely talk to your Dr though! You should have a pre-op appointment to make sure/ask questions. I definitely recommend checking out: nancysnookendo.com/ some have had to have multiple surgeries because the 1st, excision was not done properly/thoroughly 😬
Great day everyone want to say a big thank you to Dr Mabosa on RUclips 12years of PCOS gone and ENDOMETRIOSIS gone!! they told me i won't be able to conceive right now I'm pregnant 😊soon to be a mother 😍 after years of pain and hurt.....
Congratulations! I hope all is well and you have a wonderful Advent and Christmas with your family
Do we bleed like periods after surgery?
Bleeding is normal after surgery but amount/duration varies from woman to woman. It's important to discuss this with your doctor. God bless!
Have you tried herbal medications it worked for me with no side effects whatsoever
That’s great! Which herbs?
We're you in pain all the time coming up to it,?
No. Pain actually wasn't 1 of my symptoms. I had a lot of pain when I was a teen but then it disappeared. Pain is a very common symptom for those with endometriosis though.
How long is recovery?
I think it depends on your individual case. For me I did not work or do much for 2 weeks. I did not lift anything heavy for 4 weeks. I was pretty much back to full strength after that.
Please dear , just know that you don’t need Mary or any saint to get to Jesus ! ♥️ Thank God for the free gift of salvation ! 🤗. Please reconsider and just read the Bible you don’t need the catholic religious motions
Hi! It's actually not required for catholics to have any devotion to Mary or the saints. We can just talk to and worship Jesus 24/7😊 However Mary & the saints show us how to love & serve Jesus by their example. Looking at Mary's "yes" to God for example is of great inspiration to me as a mother - to say yes to anything God asks of me. It's ok if you do not want to know about Mary or the saints. You may be inspired and encouraged by holy family, friends, or neighbors around you instead. If a holy friend of yours loved Jesus & passed, we would believe that they are with Jesus & therefore call them a saint. I want to be with Jesus ultimately, so I want to be a saint too. Feel free to check out an RCIA class at any catholic church for any misconceptions about church teaching.
