Women: Anyone have Endometriosis?



Recommended Posts

I was wondering if anyone else had Endometriosis. I didn't even think when I had my surgery and they told me they were putting my port under my belly button. I have chronic abdominal pain and I think the surgery flared up my endo I am having really bad pain from the port area to my right ovary.

If anyone does share in the pain from endo has loosing weight helped that?

Thanks:help:

Hello Cindyinlv,

I have had endo for almost 18 years...I can write the book on endo, just right not this minute. I KNOW where you are coming from.... When I turned 40, I finally had a full hysterectomy ( no menopause symptoms at all) , totally feel fantastic - best thing I ever did for myself. Now, at 41, I am lapbanded and feel even greater....I was banded Aug. 17th. The port is under the skin, not placed internally. Perhaps your endo is spreading. Mine was at stage 4 - very severe. I live in Pickering. You can pm me if you want at:

Take care, Rose

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
