Endometriosis is a common medical condition where the tissue lining the uterus is found outside of the uterus, typically affecting other organs in the pelvis. The condition can lead to serious health problems, primarily pain and infertility. A major symptom of endometriosis is pain, mostly in the lower abdomen, lower back, and pelvic area.

I just went through the same thing. Had a lap, a bio, and diagnosed with endo. The Dr. told me nothing about what to do. From my experiance be sure to open up your bandages for a while everyday the more you air them out the better they will disolve (if you have disovable stitches) Mine didnt and I had to have them removed it was painful! Walk around as much as you can The more you move the better you will feel I didnt move alot being a wimp and I am so bloated from the gas they put in you still. I am very satisfied with my surgery. I wish I knew more of what to do too. I hope this helps some Just keep talking to the girls here They help so much!

hi dee,
this part is really hard! try to walk around and stuff, but do take it easy - i know i rushed back into things too fast, and it didn't help my recovery long term.
if you feel intense pain, experience significant bleeding or anything else you are concerned about, contact a doctor. otherwise, it seems that this part is just a waiting game to see how you respond to the surgery. keep your hopes up and we'll all be thinking of you and hoping that it helps you no end.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
