Follow up from that thread ^

I had my laparoscopy today. The surgery itself went well, and I'm feeling really good, considering the pain and stuff, but the results were not good.
It turns out that I have severe endometriosis. There was too much of it and it bled so much that he couldn't get any of it out.
The plan of action now is to go on Lupron and then try the surgery again in 6-8 months.

*sigh*
Dear God,
I would like a new body please. This one seems to be broken.

Dang, girl >.< I'm glad your surgery went well but that sucks that you'll have to do it pretty much all over again.

 

[RusticWildFire]

Ooh no . That really sucks.. At least they know what is wrong now though and can go about treating it the best they can...I hope in the next surgery they can get rid of it..

 

[Honeysuga]

I am so sorry thing are going less than great for you JDI, How terrible that he couldnt get it out. I hope it works out better next time and you can come one here and say "yay its gone!!"

 

[HalfPass]

Glad something finally came up during surgery that is to be fixed. Good luck!

I already commented that on Facebook, but can just repeat it: Warm hugs to you and good luck for the next surgery. At least you and they know now and can really prepare to remove all of it.

 

[Alwaysbehind]

Sorry you have to wait! The good side is - they figured out what is wrong and now they have a plan of action to deal with it. Yippeee for that.

Thank you guys for your awesome support. I am very appreciative.

I guess I am a bit let down a the results. Endo is unfortunately a lifelong battle (well.. as long as your uterus is functioning) and that it's so severe is just ugh.

Anyways, on a more positive note, I had a good night's sleep (though drug induced lol) and while the pain is sharp and achey this morning, recovery is going to be a breeze compared to my knee.

 

[TaMMa89]

recovery is going to be a breeze compared to my knee.

Btw, how's your knee now? If you don't mind me asking.

 

[JustDressageIt]

Recovery is sloooooooow. I can walk much better now, but we're still not convinced it's better. I'm just a little bit worse than pre-op right now, but as I keep saying, I am seeing progress!!

 

[TaMMa89]

Great to hear you can see progress. Hope it really will be better .

 

[JustDressageIt]

Thanks, Janita, you're a sweetheart

 

[HalfPass]

Hey you
It has been a few days since you posted here so I hope that things have progressed even further for you in the recovery process.
Hang in there girl!
Halfpass....

*does a little dance* I sneezed and it didn't kill me!!
I think recovery is going really well and really easily (at least compared to the knee!) because in all reality, they didn't do much in me, other than poke around and try to make an exploratory cut into the endo. I have 2 incisions which are still sore, but getting better, I get sharp pains inside every once in a while, but moving, using my abs, everything is coming much easier now.
Thanks for asking, HP
I guess the reality of going on hormone treatment is sinking in, and I'm not looking forwards to it....although I suppose as long as I don't grow a beard... *sigh*

Allie I am sorry that first I didn't see this thread sooner and second because they couldn't get it out but at least they know what is wrong and have something to fix now I am sending prayers your way. You are one of my best online friends and I hope everything goes well for you.

Sending hugs your way too

 

[smrobs]

Allie, I am so sorry that they weren't able to get you fixed up. It seems that you have been using up enough bad luck to cover you and everyone here on the forum for the rest of our lives . The immediate prognosis is less than great but there is hope for the future. Just keep that head up and remember that we are all here pulling for you and sending you best wishes. (((((HUGS)))))

 

[JustDressageIt]

Thank you so much for the continued support, Savvy and Smrobs -- you guys (and everyone who has offered their thoughts and support) are just awesome. *biiiig group hugs!!!*
