hello just thought to say hello to everyone and hope everyone is well i just thought to let you all know that i only have 4 weeks till i find out whats happening with me and what medication iam going on so soon as i find out i will let you all know
I had my 1st lap in June in which they found stage 4 endo with bowel involvement. My gyno did not remove any endo at that time because he needed a bowel surgeon involved.
I had the 2nd lap done 8 weeks ago, with 2 gynos and a bowel surgeon present. I was lucky and didn't need a bowel resection as the endo just shaved quite easily off the outer wall of the bowel. My colonoscopy hadn't shown penetration into the internal walls of the bowel.
I recovered fairly well from the op - was in hospital 3 nights, back at work after 2 weeks. I am still having some probs - unable to go for even 20 mins slow paced walk - am in pain for days and days after. On my good days I do feel quite good though. I have not had a period yet as they put me on continuous BCP until i start ivf in Jan. THe plan is to try and get preggers asap in order to keep endo at bay.
Hi,
Delighted to tell you my surgery seems to have gone really well and my recovery is slowly progressing- still pretty sleepy. According to Dr Cooper’s report it suggests I had wide spread endo with deposits in lots of tricky places very close to my bowel but no actual involvement (phew!!) I have my follow up appointment with Cooper on Tuesday.
While I was in hospital Dr Woolcox was my registrar she told me had my condition been left any longer I would have had extensive bowel involvement so it seems like I got the right treatment just in time. After what seems like months of anxiety I delighted it’s all over and Christmas is just a round the corner.
Thanks again for all you help and support, I’ll keep in touch and let you know how I get on. Hope to be back at work in the NY so planning on taking plenty of rest to shake off this tiredness! If your a newbie feel free to shoot me any questions..
hello
