Ok so i couldnt take the anxiety any longer and went to see my own gp who reasurred me that everything i was feeling was normal and he said he didnt expect me to be properly mobile for another week due to the fact they did four procedures not jsut the lap.
My bottom stitches are infected slightly so im on antibiotic ointment for another 24 hours and if there is no improvement he has given me some oral anti biotics to take ( bring on the diareah lol) Anyway he assured me that i was ok and that i just needed to rest a bit longer ( am so impatient lol) I asked him out my adhesions and he said he hadnt got any reports back yet as only been like4 working days but he did say that cause i have had no other operation that it could have been caused by endo i have had previously or that was hidden - he said endo can come n go or can hide - he said that we do sometimes have scar tissue for no apparent reason but its not normally likely and that he suspects in my case that the adhesions were caused by endo i had previously which is a realy opener for me because i have had no feedback from my gynea yet ( veyr slow responses) So i have had a slightly better day today however im back on my own tomorrow so not sure how im going to cope with that moodwise - i have been soooooo dam teary - whats all that about ? lol Posted on 07/01/09, 09:07 am |

I am so glad you went! I knew they might suspect endo AND adhesions and I know it must be relieving to know what all the pain is about. I didn't see my surgeon for 4 weeks after surgery, so it is normal for it to take forever to get results. Make sure to get a copy of your OR report and then you can ask gals on here what it means, or google it.
As for the teariness, your body has been through a lot of trauma and you are also healing, which takes a LOT of energy, so just try to be positive and gentle with yourself and it will get better.

Don't be too hard on yourself. Your body has been through a huge trauma, and your emotions will be running high. It is very stressful. Hang in there! We are all here for you!
