successful laparoscopy!
guys, they found it !!!!🥹
there was “endo like” tissue found on my peri-rectal “cul de sac” and my right ovary. my appendix and cecum were apparently adhered to my pelvic sidewall entirely (so i had to get my appendix removed).
i also had an ovarian cyst on my left ovary that was drained, as well as a lesion on my sigmoid colon!
i’ve had very severe bowel/rectal symptoms as well as right lower pain for years now, so the symptoms very much track with where it was located.
just currently waiting on pathology’s report since the tissue was sent there, but my surgeon said it looks like endo tissue.
i have so many mixed emotions, especially waking up with no appendix. but i’m so relieved to finally have answers.
I stayed overnight in the hospital and am now recovering postop in bed!
