- I had my first lap two years ago, almost to the day. Stage 3/4, tons of adhesions, an appendix filled with endo. My colon was attached to my ovary and so many other things. Bladder and uterus stuck together. The surgery went well. I was pain free...
- I was feeling great after my surgery last August. Staying on the BCP's, only taking the placebos when I started to spot bleed. Which was usually around two-three months. Now over the last few months I'm starting to feel the endo creeping it's way...
- I get migraines about once a month or when there has been a major change in air pressure do tooting fronts. However on Friday I had an ocular migraine. And while it was trippy and beautiful it left me totally freaked out. I googled it with birth...
- I've been feeling great since my lap in August. Pain has been very minimal, if at all (aside from taking 4 days off the BC). Sex has returned to normal and doesn't hurt. But......When I have an orgasm, I get a sharp pain in my right ovary or around...
- I just had my post op appointment and the doctor discussed with me everything that was done. I already knew that my bladder and uterus were adhered together, that my sigmoid colon was adhered to my left wall, my right ovary adhered to my colon, my...
- I am now 7 weeks post op. I've been living on a high of virtual painless everything. I've been feeling better than I have in years.My post op appointment was last week and I've been given the all clear to resume normal exercise which I pretty much...
- I've always had trouble sleeping, but the last few days it's been terrible. Only thing I can attribute it to is that I take my pill at night before bed. I fall asleep with no problem but within a couple hours I'm awake and spend the rest of the...
- For years and years I have had a painless lump on the inside of my right arm. I was told it was probably a fatty tumor and not to worry about it unless it shows some change. It has never changed and has always felt about the size of a really large...
- I got my period just a few short days after my laproscopic surgery. I had a lot of bleeding right after the surgery so It was a strange period. Very light, but with lots of small dark clots. I followed my Dr's instructions and started the continuous...
- I had my lap on Monday morning. I spent all of Sunday on a liquid diet and drinking laxative so that my bowel was completely empty for surgery. It's now Thursday and I haven't had a bowel movement yet. I've been taking stool softener a s was...
- Thanks for everyone's well wishes yesterday. This forum has been wonderful over the past two months in helping me understand what I'm up against and helping me make sure I had the right doctors on my side. My lap went great. It took just over two...
- It's the eve of my surgery and I'm completeing my second colon cleanse in two weeks. Yuck. Last time was Golytely. This time is Miralax which isn't so bad comparatively. They've already found endometriosis in my bowel so at least this isn't a "let's...
- I had my colonoscopy this morning. I'm still waiting on my lap in two weeks. However, they found endo in my colon. A decent amount of it too. Ugh. Not sure what happens from here.
- Because of my rectal bleeding during my period my doctor wanted me to see a gastroenterologist before my lap in a couple weeks. I went in for my colonoscopy consult today. The GI wants to do it during my period as to better identify the source of...
- Because of you ladies I went into the surgical OB/Gyn today prepared with a list of questions I was going to ask.Luckily I didn't have to ask a single one. The doctor was amazing.He explained everything that's going to be happening. Explained he was...
