Endometriosis Excision Surgery Vlog!

  • Hello beautiful viewer! Here I am on the other end of my endometriosis excision surgery. I'm still in pain, I'm still groggy, I'm still bloated, and I'm still constipated...but for now, I am endometriosis free! I know endometriosis is a chronic illness, and I'm fully aware it will grow back--but I've taken all the precautions needed to have it grow back slower. Here's to a painfully personal vlog of what I did to prepare for my surgery & the anxiety I had leading up to the surgery, and a documentation of what I was feeling coming out of the surgery. Hopefully, I provided a sense of comfort or hope to those out there who are on their end journeys, however that looks to you right now. Here's to a more pain-free future💛

    I gaslight myself with the “maybe I just have low pain tolerance” too ugh. It’s so awful! As if I’m not doubled over in pain majority of the moth. What an isolating thing.

    The feeling of claustrophobia being stuck in this broken body and having to deal with pain forever is the perfect word to describe it. The depression and anxiety from this is so heavy.
    I’m meeting with a 3rd doctor in November as a pre-op and will be scheduling diagnostic surgery from there. Afraid that they won’t find anything and everyone will think I’m indeed crazy and weak. But I’m hoping either way, whether they find it or not, that if it isn’t endo that they can find a solution and treat whatever it is. I’m so exhausted from feeling like trash for so many years. 😢
    Thank you for sharing your story and expressing so well what I’ve been feeling and suffering silently. It’s comforting to know I’m not alone ❤

    You are literally my favorite person rn lol. I'm dealing with a lot. I just came to terms with being autistic so I had been watching your stuff on autism. But I've also been dealing with girl issues and I've exhausted my options. I'm diagnosed with pcos but there's something else going on the pain is like a 7/10 now at almost every period (iud insertion and removal was only 2/10 for reference). I cramp all month. My periods are irregular but when I do have them they are too long. The longest being 6 months. I bleed heavier. Etc. I also have a family history of endo. Ik I should probably get tested but I'm scared bc it's surgery. I came to this realization today and I'm so scared and a crying mess. (I've also been on my period for nearly 2 weeks so that may contribute). Anyway, imagine my surprise when I look up endo and it's already someone I recognize it was so comforting. Am I still crying yes, but idk I guess I'm just saying thank you for being so open about things. It made me feel so much less alone.

    Thank you for sharing this vlog with us 🙏💖 I don't have endometriosis but I am going to be having surgery (spine surgery) and I'm also Autistic and feeling quite anxious/nervous about it and have been trying to prepare mentally as well as practically, and it helped so much to find this video and see how you prepared your space and nurtured yourself in recovery. And what you talked about with the pain of the solution being better than the intense levels of chronic pain. It's been encouraging, thank you so much 🌸

    Wait do you have endo in diaphragm ? My breathing does that. I’m waiting on a second hopefully better surgery (I had ablation 1.5 years ago waiting for excision now) but I’m constantly out of breath, I thought that it was related to smoking cannabis or breathing through the pain. When you said you get claustrophobic in your body it nailed it, holy crap. I am crying. I’m so sick of this pain, we deserve better.

    Thanks so much for posting this, girl! Could you maybe explain more about what it was like to get put to sleep? This is the part that freaks me out!! Like, what does it feel like? How do they do it? What does it feel like when they put the stuff in, like do you get sleepy or is more like wide awake to instantly out? Could you have stayed awake if you would have tried or is it impossible? Haha. Basically whatever you remember about that part would be helpful. Thanks so much!

      This is the scariest part for me. I never get used to it.
      It feels like you get really sleepy but that only lasts for a second before you’re out. Then you basically wake up in a bed w surgery done.

    I had my fibroid removed this week. Apparently they found endometriosis while doing my myomectomy and they did an excision of it at the same time. The doctors still haven't told me about it. I only found out what was done because I had to ask my nurse if they removed all.of the fibroids and she read from my chart " Laperscopic myomectomy and excision of endometriosis".
