Have you had more than one surgery for endometriosis?
If you already had one surgery for endo, how do/did you know when it is time to have another one?
- What surgeries have you had?
- What was recovery like?
- How are you doing now?
- Are you happy with your decision?
- Anything else that you'd like to share?
I have had two laparoscopy’s
Recovery wasn’t too bad with both just sore for a while.
I’m much better now.
Yes happy with my decision.
Gluten free diet is the best recommendation I have had. I was also told not to have further surgeries if I wanted to have children as it may cause further damage.

Hi, I’m new to this website and your question came up first.
I have had three laparoscopies, partial hysterectomy and then an oophorectomy
where I had frozen pelvis and surgery was 5.5hrs long. The major surgeries were performed after three c-sections also.Diagnosed at 22 years older after 11 years of suffering and wrong diagnosis’s.
Thank you so much for sharing with us
. You certainly have gone through a lot, that is for sure! Such a warrior. How have you been feeling since you had all of that done? Did any of it bring you relief? -Kimberli (Team Member) Hi there! I just wanted to circle back around and check in on you! How have you been feeling? Hoping well. Sending you all good thoughts. <3 -Kimberli (team member)
I have had 9 laparoscopic surgeries. 7 for endometriosis, then 2 for hernia repair (hernias caused by repetitive surgical entry through the belly button) 
Goodness it sounds like you have gone through quite a lot with your endo journey. How has everything been for you since your last procedure? Sending good vibes your way! - Kayleigh, Endometriosis.net Team
my goodness you definitely have been through a lot. I had one surgery for hernia repair. I still don't really know how I got the hernia. The second surgery you had, did you just know the hernia was back? My surgery was 2 years ago and I am starting to feel pain I had before I had my hernia back. I know it could be all sorts of things, especially endo, but I wonder if another hernia has come back? My doctors never really explained to me the recurrence of hernias so I am kind of lost! Anyways, I hope you have been doing well! Sending hugs <3 -Kimberli (team member)
I have had so many D&C's that I can't count and Thurs., Mar. 11, I will have my most current. I am 77 years old. When I learned of the creepy, crawly demeanor of an endo, my first response was to get it out of my system. Very fortunate to have a doctor who performed the Endo's back in the '90's. He is still in practice but refers his work to upcoming superstars.
I'm glad to hear that you found a doctor that listened to you and you had a good relationship with. That's so fortunate. I will be thinking about you this week and sending extra love your way on Thursday. Please keep us posted on how everything goes. You have our full support here! - Warmly, Kayleigh, endometriosis.net team just wanted to check in on you and see how your surgery went! I hope recovery is going well and you are resting nicely and feeling ok. Sending you big hugs and good thoughts <3 -Kimberli (team member)
