![What to Expect After Endometriosis Excision Surgery (LAPEX) [CC]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/POKSeh724Xk/mqdefault.jpg)
i had my first lap last saturday. i was more anxious about the result than the surgery itself! 13 years of being thrown from pillar to post with my chronic pain and bad periods and i finally got my diagnosis of endo! what a relief to actually understand that it wasn't all in my head and that i wasn't suffering for nothing. honestly, the weight that has been lifted off my shoulders after 13 years is unbelievable. 6 of those 13 years my partner and i have also struggled with infertility with no answer as to why this was happening. just to hear the words 'we can confirm you have endometriosis' was all i've ever dreamed of hearing. finally an answer to all my problems.
such a shitty disease to live with but such a relief to finally have a diagnosis.
i wish you good health and happiness in life.
may god bless you.
This is the best and most relatable video. I totally know what you mean saying that you hope they find endometriosis, I am having the same feeling about my first laparoscopy in a couple months😭 I just want to understand the pain. Thank you so much for sharing♥️♥️
Thank you for such a lovely comment! Good luck, any questions you have DM me! 💛💛
Omg I said the same thing to my boyfriend. I get my surgery on the 23rd of this month. I'm starting to get nervous. I went for my pre-op today.
This video was the most helpful video I've seen. I appreciate you taking the time to make it :)
Thank you so much! 💛
Thank you for this I’m waiting on going for my lap I’m so scared and nervous so thank you so much this was so helpful❤️❤️ I hope your feeling better after your surgery❤️
Hi lovely, how are you doing? Thank you for such a lovely comment! Have you had your lap yet? 💛
Really proud of you making the choice to share such raw and authentic footage of your experience. The visibility you’ve given to the ‘behind the scenes’ and what really happens on this VLOG will help a lot of women and those assigned female at birth, who may have surgery dates scheduled. Although everyone’s experience of laparoscopy/ treatment / surgical procedures may be different, your video lifts the veil on the scary unknown and answers a lot of questions on the general process, something that will ease the anxiety of someone waiting for their first laparoscopy. 💖
thank you for saying assigned female at birth:) i'm nonbinary and have a scheduled laparoscopy in january
This was such a helpful video. I'm currently waiting for my laparoscopy to discover what's been going on but I've had all clear scans and bloods. Some doctors say it's likely to be endo but then others say it's probably not so I'm really worried I go through the hassle of the surgery but I'm just in so much pain that I feel like it's not worth not doing it
I’m 19 and having my first laparoscopy on Wednesday this week, I’m really nervous. I’ve had such an awful time through my teens, not being able to go to school or have a life really, due to the pain, fainting, heavy bleeding etc and my doctors finally told me they think I have endometriosis last year. I’m really nervous but I’m even more scared that they won’t find anything, because if it’s not endometriosis then I don’t know why I’m struggling this much. This has helped me calm down a lot, thank you x
I will be having my surgery in 2 months! Thank you for sharing your story
Good luck! Sending you lots of love 💛
Very helpful. I will do my surgery soon
thats so funny how everyone does a lap different. about to have my second one. I have never seen the sponge haha! And the 1st one I didn't have to stay the night i left like an hour after I woke up...........you got me worried about the gas/shoulder pain because I literally had NONE the 1st time but my 2nd surgery is with a more endo specialist but ugh........gonna have to mention to try and suck out as much air before closing lol omg.........maybe its cause I laid totally flat for the entire 1st day
I'm going for my surgery in 3 days and it's being alone I'm so scared of, I never got a sponge though😂thank you for spreading awareness and for putting me at ease a little bit!
So sorry for the late reply! How did it go? Don’t worry too much about the sponge, I don’t think it’s the end of the world, you just shouldn’t use soap! So glad this video helped, any questions you have just shout! 💛
Hi I'm Rhosel, I will be having a laparoscopy and hysteroscopy on Friday. Praying that everything goes well and successful. I am worried about complications but my Dr said its very rare. So I am just thinking that this procedure will end my pains. I can feel it is a little bit pain on my right pelvic so yeah, hopefully it will be well. Thank you for your vlog, it helps me to.prepare for it.
I had a laparoscopy for endometriosis 20 years ago and i still remember that unbelievable pain the shoulders! Went on the have 3 kids :)
This is such a lovely comment, thank you! The shoulder pain is next level isn’t it! 💛
20 years ago? And did it ever come back during that time?
Thank you! I am going to do that in 2 days
So proud go you making this video , I am having hystecopy on 19th, and wondering if they do lappet same time. Also I have POTS which is amazing to find someone who in same boat as I am
Ah! Sending a huge good luck! Be really kind to yourself 💛
Omg I can relate so well to this video....both my ovaries are stuck to the posterior wall of uterus...I already had 1 lap in 2019 and got them freed. But pain came back in 2020. Now I have stabbing pain in both my ovaries. And results shows that ovaries are again glued to uterus and there are lot of adhesions.
M fed up of this pain. My next surgery is due after my eggs are retrieved. Pray for me pls
I’m having a diagnostic laparoscopy on Tuesday 20th April to see if I do have endo. My consultant definitely thinks I do have it, but we obviously need the surgery to officially diagnose it. I was misdiagnosed in September last year with appendicitis and they removed my appendix and I was in hospital for three days after that, but it turned out my appendix was completely normal but they did say that my ovaries and Fallopian tubes were quite inflamed when they were taking my appendix out. Since September, I have had 8 hospital admissions with severe tummy pain, only to be told it was constipation (I know right) but the last time I had the pain, it was so severe that I actually collapsed and became unconscious for a period of time. I decided to go private and it was the best decision I’ve ever made. I can’t wait to finally have the surgery and hopefully find out what’s going on inside my body🤍
You poor thing! You’ve really been through it, I’ve been sent to A&E many times after GP’s think it’s appendicitis, symptoms can mimic each other. Would actually love my appendix out as means it would be one less thing to worry about! I’m so happy you have your surgery booked, keeping everything crossed that it goes well for you and if you have any questions or need any support feel free to DM me on Instagram! 💛💛
@@everythingwithemma5896 thank you so much! I will definitely message you on Instagram if I need anything, thank you again💛💛
If you don’t mind me asking how come it took 8 months to recover :) thank you for this!
Is it advisable before or after cycle the surgery?
Would it be a problem if you have braces and have to have surgery?
How big was ur cyst before they removed it I have one that's over 2.4 inches, might need surgery in a couple months
What is the use of the sponge.. can't we take a normal shower on operating day or a day before
Plz tell me also for what reasons we needed pads, does women bleeds after surgery ?
I'm having my surgery next Friday on June 11th and I'm super nervous
Hi Emma, It has been so good to watch you and your journey knowing there is light at the end of the tunnel, thank you! I am waiting for my lap surgery and am a complete hospital/bodies/medical-phobe :/ can I please ask with the incisions how often the dressings are changed and by who? thank you! Xx
Laparoscopy shouldn't be an option my dear if they didn't tell you everything your feeling now the pain and everything that comes with it will return 5years from now..I'm Endo free with herbal medications
This is disgraceful. I have reported your comment for spam and false information.
Hi Anna, apologies for the late reply and the appalling spam comment above. With my incisions I had internal stitches and I believe one or two ones that I took out myself after about a week. I changed my dressings every 2 days at least and remember to keep them dry! Sending lots of love 💛
@@everythingwithemma5896 thanks so much! I am very medically afraid and find anything about bodies very worrying and am anxious about the whole thing, you have helped me so much! Lots of love xx
I completely understand. Don’t be Afraid to ask for help or advice from doctors and nurses. Our bodies are truly incredible even though they can also cause so much pain! Just remember pain is like a warning light on a car, you should always get it checked, it’s our bodies way of telling you that something is wrong so you doing this surgery and investigations is so sensible. I found recovery a lot easier than expected, everyone is different but try not to put too much pressure on yourself. 💛
Extra tip: use activated charcoal for the gas pain
So did the pain go away
Is gas painful or do c section
So glad I found your vlog, I go in tomorrow! Very nervous and as you said you worry they won’t find anything. Also had a lap previously and was told nothing was found, 18years ago 🙄. Wishing you a speedy recovery. 💛💛
Sending you lots of love, be kind to yourself, take it easy! If you need any support at all just shout 💛💛
@@everythingwithemma5896 thank you, got a few weeks off work and my husband and teenage boys will be my servants 😆
Oh and yes to pics when you follow up, I’m like you and it interests me too. I’ll be asking my surgeon tomorrow 💛
Surgery went well, endo confirmed and excised as well as cutting away adhesions. I’m day 2 post op and been up showered, dressed and getting fresh air in the garden today 💛💛 hope your feeling good x
That’s amazing news! I’m so glad it went well and wow, you are smashing day two already! Be super kind to yourself, sending you loads of love 💛💛
This is helpful for me as I have my first lap on Monday 😫
Hey lovely, how did it go? 💛
@@everythingwithemma5896 the surgery itself was actually fine! I definitely didn’t need to worry as much as I did. These vids really helped 😍 they found out I have stage 3 endo though which was a shock
@@yassykdofficial were you NHS?
@@TheBetherrsss yes I was! I couldn’t really fault them especially as it was during the pandemic
@@yassykdofficial can you give me a vague timeline please? :)
I had my surgery yesterday afternoon :) it’s not super bad right now it’s on and off pain
Sending you lots of love! I hope it all went well, if you have any questions or need some support then drop me a DM! 💛
Hi Emma great video. I am going to do the surgery soon, but I was scared to go through with it but I am at ease now after watching your video. I also have a heart condition as well I am slightly worried about how I will be during the surgery, so what heart condition do have Emma? And did it go during the surgery
Hi lovely, good luck! I have p.o.t.s I just had to up my beta blocker meds for a week after surgery as was suffering with tachycardia 💛
@@gloriawhite2214 from where I can take those herbal medicines to keep endo away post surgery
Hi Emma,
My wife is also suffering from endometroisis stage 4. I am seeking some information related to private health insurance in UK. Does the private insurance covers the expenses of the treatment process?
Hi Jay, sorry to hear your wife is suffering! Every insurance is different so I would advise calling one and discussing, sometimes they don’t cover chronic conditions but maybe give someone like BUPA a call. For my surgery everything was covered. hope that helps.
Thanks a lot for the this information Emma. If i require any further info /details will connect again.
Yes private health insurance does cover endometriosis, however if your wife has already been diagnosed, they may not cover it because it is a pre-existing condition.
I have my first surgery on Wednesday. My doctor symptom diagnosed me with Endo a couple years ago. I am nervous that they will not find anything, and think I'm making it up! I dont want to look like an idiot.
@@leyvamichelle I have never heard of it. My doctor just put me on birth control which helped.
Hi lovely, I totally know that feeling! I feel the same everytime I have a surgery. How did it go? 💛
It went well thank you. I dont have endo, but they found a cyst on my ovary, and extra tissue.
Hi, I am a boy and two years ago when I was 15 years old, I had single incision laproscopic surgery through umbilicus/belly button for removal of appendix organ. I had severe pain for nearly 2 weeks, but after complete recovery I feel good, but when I wear tight pants I have pain on the operated region. I have visited the doctor who has done the surgery, but she used to examine and say it is normal after surgery. Do you have the same pain?
Hello! So glad you’ve recovered now, appendicitis can be horrific! That’s awful that you are still having problems with pain 2 years on, I can’t really comment as not a medical professional and also had a different procedure done, but I would say in my experience the incision sites themselves stay sore and sensitive for about 8 weeks and I can’t personally wear jeans/ tight trousers for a good few months but it definitely settled down for me. I would advise going back to your doctor or GP and get it investigated fully. Hope that helps!
@@everythingwithemma5896 yeah, thank you for the support 😊.
Hey thanks for sharing this video, its been 6 months you have posted it.. i wana know that what was the size of your Cyst? And since its been 6 months you have done your surgery.. do u fear or feel that cyst is reoccuring?
Hi lovely, I think you may be confused, this surgery as not for an ovarian cyst it was for adhesions and endometriosis 💛
@@everythingwithemma5896 i know i was asking about the size of endometriosis cyst
Hey, i have endo from the past 8,9 years now, i just had lapro done once 5 years ago but now from the last one year i again am feeling pains and all sorts of symptoms 😞
May i ask what stage was your endo and what were your other symptoms beside pelvic pain plus i also have a congenital heart condition.
Hello, I’m so sorry I missed this, also to sorry to see the horrendous spam comments. I have reported them.
Main symptoms were:
Pelvic pain
Dragging heaviness in pelvis
Bloating
Irregular bleeding
Painful examinations
Fatigue
Brain fog
Hope that helps 💛
how long did it take for you stomach to go back to normal, like no bloating from the surgery?
about 4 weeks xx
Mines on 31st jan so in 5 days so scared
Have you had the same surgery with the NHS or did you go private because they wouldn’t diagnose you?
Hey- I’ve always gone private as very lucky to have insurance 💛
@@everythingwithemma5896 I’m stuck in the cycle right now of “well, if it’s endometriosis we’d treat it with the coil anyway so let’s cut out the middleman and go straight to that” but equally reluctant to push and push because if they go in and there’s nothing there then good for me, but also makes me look like I’m making it all up. Girls should not be afraid of their period
Hi loves,
I have finally filmed my 6 month update video! Hopefully this will answer some of your questions… ua-cam.com/video/nsAhjrV7yeQ/v-deo.html
💛💛💛
I have mine tomorrow I’m so nervous
Hi lovely! Sending you lots of love and positive vibes, if you have questions just DM me on Instagram @endowithemma_ 💛
Hows your pain since the surgery?
Much better! No longer have lower back pain or feel like I’m carrying a brick in my pelvis. I’m still got some soreness near my bellybutton and a small lump that feels like scar tissue so going to get that checked out. 💛
@@everythingwithemma5896 This is sooo great. I am glad to hear that your are better.
If you ever have too have this surgery again take GAS X
Dr removed my left ovary ..is there chance to get pregnant ...I am unmarried
Hi lovely, I am so so sorry to hear this. It must be a very distressing time for you. I am not a medical professional so I can’t comment but definitely speak to your gynaecologist or a fertility specialist to get some further clarity. Sending lots of love 💛💛
Don't worry. My right ovary was removed last month. The doctor said left ovary is absolutely normal so I won't have any issues with pregnancy. Btw I am unmarried too.
@@anupamamishra2778 really worried 😟
i’m getting my second one in 5 days 😔 and i feel more nervous than my first one
Hey what’s the size of your cyst? And after how long it got reoccured?
@@ree.b86 my left one is 9cm and growing and my right one is around 3 cm which is abnormal
@@ree.b86 and 2 year difference
I was the same! It is incredibly nerve wracking but try to remember it will hopefully help you with your pain 💛
