Post surgery
So I finally had surgery for endometriosis, I’m day 3 post-op. I had laparoscopy for what they thought was stage 3 after MRI. My surgeon has said the MRI was deceiving and that it was actually stage 4 DIE with a score of 47 (he advised a score over 22 would indicate stage 4) survey included excision removal of endo from my bowels, rectum and bladder and freeing of my abdominal organs as they were all stuck together. I had to stay in hospital for one night due to arrhythmias I was having during surgery and in recovery.
I am now home but still experiencing some gas pain mainly just in my shoulders now and after I’ve moved around a bit. My abdomen is sore but manageable. I’m really struggling with feeling lethargic and a bit dizzy. I’ve been managing to drink well and keep hydrated but when I eat it makes me feel really sick.
I’ve opted for smoothies and small mouthfuls of rice with eggs to try and get my stomach adjusted back to eating food.
I was just wondering if anyone had any recovery tips following surgery as at the moment I really don’t know when I’m going to start feeling ‘normal’ again alongside how emotional I’ve felt since being home.
Thanks everybody
