Laparoscopy for endometriosis

Karmen

Hi everyone I my laparoscopy for endo yesterday. My doctor has been thinking it was stage 4 but they still to test. It is painful in some areas specially the gas pain floating yo shoulders. Also have some cramps and spotting.the milestones to be released for me were staying name DOB and location. I also had to eat a little and drink and have the ability to urinate on my own otherwise a catheter would have been placed. My doctor game me some pills to stop my period for a month so I can recover without the extra pain. I definitely recommend walking as much as you can to take the gas out. Sleep with some extra pillows to feel comfortable. To the hospital take a pillow for your ride back. Seat belts hurt , also some pads (my hospital pads were terrible and home have waterproof bandages , tea and drink plenty of water (Lukewarm it helps with the cramps.

This is all I can think about if you have questions let me know! I know surgery can be scary if you don’t know what’s happening. Good luck to anyone having gynecological surgeries.

Ps I also had a myomectomy last November I can also tell you about that.
