now im really scared SIX MONTHS?!

Again, I don't mean you will be feeling miserable for 6 months....but it can take up to that long for your insides to heal 100%....you likely won't even notice until you go to do something your body isn't ready for and it will tell you. For my first surgery it took about 10 weeks for me to feel 100%. And I had very little done...but if never had any kind of surgery before.
I think you need to not be freaked out but you need to be prepared for the reality that you aren't likely to feel yourself in a week. And just be aware that it could take several weeks to feel normal again. I still get really tired if I over do it at work....and every once in awhile I have some pain in the incision they removed my ovary from. It's really not a big deal as far as surgeries go. I had the most done in this last surgery and it was my best recovery. Quite possibly because I was just really prepared.

but you do get better I guess that's good

Alana don't be scared, its ok :). Think positive, once this is done it will help with the pain you do have now. I would really ask your doctor before going back to the gym I was told not to lift over 10lbs or do any strenuous actives for three weeks. Everyone recoveries different and I actually went back to work today which was a week and a day after my surgery and yes I am still uncomfortable but it gets better every day. The first few days will be the worst, with the gas pain plus the pain from the surgery. Make sure you can have some one help you. I actually had the surgery Monday and my husband went back to work Tuesday real early that morning and I did not have anyone with me until he got back home. I would recommend someone with you though just because I did need his help for a few days to get pulled up off the couch after I would lay down for a while, I felt kind of stiff. I found the recliner to be comfortable so if you have a recliner or a chair just relax and watch TV! Make sure that you do move around some because you don't want a blood clot. By the way I used Gas-X and make sure you get Miralax. I just used stool softener and it did not work for me. I know that is borderline to much info but I didn't listen to that suggestion and just used stool softener and ended up having to buy Miralax a week later. Don't be scared though, You will be up and running before you know it :)

Oh yeah I misread you message and NO I do not feel good enough right now to go to the gym so it would take more than a week before you can do that. I would ask your doctor though when he suggest, all doctors have different opinions. I heard some ladies say doctors give different time lines for different things. some ladies say the doctor says don't lift over 25lbs and mine said don't life over 10lbs, some say not intercourse or tampons for 3-4 weeks and mine said a week. I would make sure do ask your doctor and not just go by what we are suggestion, only because your doctor is the one doing the surgery. I do think you should be completely fine for your trip after 5 weeks but that was a good to reschedule Disney, walking for that period of time would be very miserable, and I know you would want to enjoy it. Have fun going to Pitt!! When you get scared think of something positive. I kept thinking of things that I could do after and it does help ease that anxiety a little. I had constant pain so I felt like I could of ran to the operating run LOL. please tell us how goes and trust me these ladies on here are awesome, they have helped me a lot!!

Sorry for the typos I guess that means its getting late and time for bed lol. Hope you was able to understand most of it. By the way I did not mean to not ask us question because you should only get info from your doctor. I have asked a ton of questions and we are all her for you!

Thank you everything you said makes sense, I know I'm being stupid, but I don't want to hurt worse or have something worse happen. It's irrational I'm sure, but I've been thru so much with everything breast cyst when I was 15, vulovdynia now this UGH!

Oh Alana you are not being stupid about this at all. I mean it is surgery so to be scared is normal. You will be sore the first couple days but after that its all up hill. Nothing bad will happen, im sure your doctor has don't this procedure 100s of times. Just think positive that nothing bad will happen and this lap will help with the pain you have now.

So if youre just supposed to feel bad for a few days than its not a big deal is it pain or like discomfort? I just want this endo shit (or whatever) gone...

Well I will say that you will feel pain for the first few days but I am still experiencing discomfort today and i had my surgery 01/27. Going back to work doesn't seem to help the discomfort either but I will say every day gets better. I mean I am not bent over in pain like I have been with endometriosis but its still uncomfortable. I would say with the gas pains and the pain from the surgery at least 2-3 days of pain and then it does start to ease up but its still discomfort. Its not as bad as I thought once I got past those few days but like you im ready to not feel any pain at all. I had bad pain with my endo and it was often so now with the discomfort im ready to get the healing process over with and be pain fee and pray and hope it don't return.

I talked to my doctor about the gas pains- he said that he made sure to get it out and no one ever complained of that from him. So hopefully he's telling me the truth and not what I want to hear. I have a feeling that the gas pain is the pain most people have. Discomfort I can handle because in a few weeks I'm sure that will go away for you. You're only like 10 days post surgery. I can't even believe you went back to work that quick. I requested 2 weeks off haha but I work for my dad sooo

All the drs take the gas out but they can't get it all. And some people don't feel any effects from it and some people do. I've had four laps all with the same Dr...My first 2 I had the gas pain..the second 2 I did not. The pain actually comes from a nerve that goes from your diaphragm to your left shoulder...when the gas is in you for surgery it irritates this nerve and that's where the shoulder pain comes from....not necessarily from left over gas.
You are going to have actual pain at your incision sites for a couple days....but it's doable pain on the pain meds.

crap now im scared about the incision pain and numbness???

It's nothing to be scared about....but it's a cut so it's going to hurt some. I'm sure with everything you've been thru this will be a piece of cake. I don't want to keep freaking you out so I won't say any more. :-) hope everything goes well for you and that you have a smooth recovery.

I would still recommend getting the Gas-x just incase it does bother you then you already have it. Like Christine said don't worry about the incisions and it will be a piece of cake compared to endo pain and I also agree with her that there is absolutely nothing to worry about. You will be ok and I think you will be surprised on how worried you was about the pain. The pain is manageable especially with the pain meds so if you take them you will be fine. :-)
