I've just got back from the hospital following laproscopic surgery for endo. I've been dismissed for years until I put my foot down and essentially demanded a referral. Even before the surgery today, my surgeon said that it's "unlikely" to be endometriosis. Well, guess what? It is endo. I feel vindicated, relieved, but also a little angry that it's taken this long to get a diagnosis (I've been back and forth to the doctor re this since I was 13; I'm now 39). One thing I've just realised watching this is that no one has told me anything about recovery beyond the first 5 days.
Preach! I was told to take a few days off of work, drink water, and rest. Yeah. No duh. Nothing else. I should have taken more days off of work after surgery and gave my body and even my mind some time to process what I'd been through and I am still going through. It took 8 years to get a diagnosis and they thought it was an Ovarian cyst before surgery. They were not expecting Endo in the first surgery so now i have to have a second surgery to 'get the rest of the endo out'. Just know you are not alone
Found out I have endometriosis. I got severe sepsis at 25 from ovarian cyst rupture and later found out endometriosis was growing on my colon and kidneys
@@theycallmehotrod1940you’ll be okay! I had my surgery at 19 I’m 21 now and it was the best decision of my life I didn’t know I had it and for 2 years I was in pain and throwing up. It got diagnosed and I had about 5 days of rest it was hard to use the restroom, I was bleeding a little and did have some bloating but after about 2 weeks I felt amazing and now I just have minor symptoms from other diagnoses. 🎉🎉
They gave me to wear an abdominal binder at the discharge, which I have worn for 2 weeks now. My Dr is not insisting on it (and she is super skilled). I feel better for support it provides. Any opinions?
@doctorrich Hello there, I'm in recovery still after almost 10 months later😢 I didn't even have endometriosis at all just some abscess the gynecologist told me and now I have chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, im so afraid of getting scar adhesions and them blocking my fallopian tubes or something..and theirs nothing I can do as my gynecologist discharged me as a patient and referred me to chronic pain center in another city and I dont have a vehicle at this time. Such a bad thing to be stressing over with the pain getting worse idk what to do
@@taymicastro2749 I was bleeding a whole lot during my periods to the point where I became anemic, I would spot off my periods too, and I was always constipated

My doc said go for it if wearing one makes me feel more secure and comfortable. It did and I do wear it.
