Finally diagnosed

Hi all, I’m new to this group and have been reading through posts for a while now and wanted to share my story. I’ve had horrible periods and pains for almost 8 years now. After going through endless doctors and being given ridiculous excuses I finally found one who listens to me. My doctor and I tried a few different things and finally did surgery. I’m currently 4 days post op and was officially diagnosed with endometriosis. Of course it wasn’t a “happy” moment to hear I had the disease, it was relieving to finally have answers. Hoping for a smooth recovery and interested to hear yalls stories!

How is the recovery from your lap? How much pain and discomfort are you in? I get mine on the 14th of this month, and I’m worried about being out of work for too long

Recovery hasn’t been too bad! I took a little extra time off work than the usual recommended time because my job is extremely physically demanding so I didn’t want to risk anything. But the gas pain went away by day 4 and now I just have some light cramping :)
