Had surgery to clean up moderate endometriosis
Working / Worked
I would not recomend this to anyone. All of my surgeries led to more surgeries. I had total joint implants and the left fossa fractured. I ended up with osteomylitis on the right side of my face and base of my skull. This left me disabled.
From unrelenting inflammation, had scarring and complete blockage - unable to keep even liquids down. Partial bowel resection (ileostomy) via laparoscopic surgery in late 2004. I quit smoking, gave up alcohol, coffee, and tea, and many other dietary changes. Am pain free for now, but stillhave rampant uncontrolled diarrhea. Taking imodium several times weekly.

I had surgery in 2010. I was pain free for 3 months post-op. This was the best thing to ever happen to me. My surgeon was kind and helpful, telling me he got everything that was visible and not to give up.
