I work as a surgical tech and we do MANY laparoscopic cases daily.  Half of the cases we do are done completely laparascopic or laparoscopic-assisted.  It is by far the fastest recovery of any invasive (i.e. surgical) procedure and your wife will be on her feet in no time.  It is the procedure I would choose if I were in your wife's situation.\n\nThe incision sites are not even an inch long and she'll probably have only two or three.  Most doctors inject local anesthetic to relieve pain and discomfort and by the time it wears off, she'll be well enough to control pain with an OTC pain reliever.  \n\nThough there are risks with any kind of anesthesia and surgery, the chances of something happening are slim, especially if your wife has good general health.  I know most people are scared of surgery.  Please know from one who has been in the field for awhile it is quite safe and your wife will have an excellent team working for her health and safety.  Talk to your doctor about your concerns, they can address specifics.  Please email me if you have any questions.

I have had 9 surgeries, I know.  You have to massage it in a hard way.  Otherwise, if it causes you pain, surgeons will have to back in, remove it, and you will have to start massaging again.

It's not too bad. They put you to sleep. They make 4 small incisions. One just over the belly button, and 3 in your upper right abdomen. They pump you full of air and use a scope to guide them. Then they remove it and sew you up. \n\nThe worst part I found was the gas. You get serious gas pains. Take my advice and just fart. Don't be shy about it cuz it's the only way. The gas pains lasted for about 2 days. They wouldn't even let me leave the hospital until I farted. (nurse's exact words: U cant leave until you fart)\n\nAfter u expell the gas its not bad at all.\n\n\nIt's way better than that horrid gall stone pain!!!!

The pain and consequences of Endo can be far reaching and exact a potentially devastating toll on the patient, ranging from debilitating pain to anatomical disortions to infertility, but it doesn't have to be that way.  Painful intercourse is a hallmark symptom of Endo, but not all women experience it.  If you have Endo of the cul-de-sac, which is one of the top 10 locations for the disease to implant, chances are likely you will experience it, however.  But first - you need to get diagnosed and effectively treated before you worry about what might be.  Endo can only be definitively diagnosed by surgery, usually the laparoscopy.  Don't worry - there is help out there and you are definitely not alone.  There is a very effective treatment that does exist which can be incredibly helpful - and it isn't hysterectomy. That is an old wive's tale, right up there with "Endo is a disease of white career women" and "pregnancy cures it." None of that is true. Endo produces its own estrogen-synthesizing enzyme known as Aromatase, which allows it to self-sustain after hysterectomy. The treatment is to remove *all disease,* not organs. Unfortunately, most doctors are quick to perform superficial surgeries like ablation, vaporization and cauterization, which leaves extensive disease behind. Most doctors will also not a.) recognize all disease in all colors and locations and b.) be able to treat complicated forms of the disease such as that located on the bowel, bladders, ligaments, etc. Therefore, it leads to repeat, ineffective surgeries that offer very temporary relief at best. Combine lack of treatment with a 9 year delay in diagnosis and doctors telling the patient "it's in their head" and it can become rather complicated and painful. Other doctors like to prescribe Lupron as if it were candy and tell their patients it is a cure - also not true. What Endo patients need to do is get help from a TRUE Endo specialist - someone who meticulously EXCISES all disease from all locations. Excision is the gold standard of treatment, conferring an up to 85% long term success rate, increase in fertility, and helps the patient regain her painfree quality of life. Only advanced laparoscopic endoscopists with highly skilled techniques can perform excision and such specialists are few and far between, but they do exist. Get help right away from someone who knows what they are doing and it will drastically improve the situation altogether. Start at the top with a specialist - get diagnosed and effectively treated right away.  Don't go the surgery and medication merry-go-round, suffering needlessly for years. See the links below for help. Good luck to you and remember you're not alone.

Your surgeon will probably recommend a surgical shoe for at least several weeks to protect the surgical site. Some people find that pain during recovery is not as bad as the hammertoe! \n\nYou must ask for pain medications if you need them, as every person's perception of pain is different, and your surgeon cannot know how much pain you're in unless you tell hir.\n\nI have read of some people who experienced no significant pain after the first day or two, and others who complained of more. Again, though, work with your surgeon, following hir instructions carefully, and ask for adequate pain relief as necessary.\n\nAverage recovery time is 4-6 weeks, but improvement will be seen each day.\n\nGood luck!

RICE:\n\nRest\nIce\nCompression (wrap it up, not so tightly you cut off circulation)\nElevation\n\nI'd also add pain/swelling reducers, like Motrin/Advil

Yes, and it hurts like hell! Just alternate heat and ice every 20 minutes, and it will help a lot. I did this by powerwalking. It takes a while to heal. My doctor put me in a walking boot so I could continue to walk. Just be patient!

You're in for some severe pain if you don't have those taken care of. I ignored my gallbladder. The pain got so bad I'm not sure I can describe it to you. It was a big knot about the size of my fist under my sternum. Unimaginable pain. It didn't matter what I did I couldn't relieve it. Pushing on it did nothing. Sitting in every possible position I could do nothing. It would last for a good hour non-stop torture. This happened daily. I'm one stubborn man. The pain would be so bad I would be screaming. Still I didn't ask for help. I was hoping one of the neighbors would call for help. They never did. I lasted 10 days. I finally said something and saw a doc. They tried to do the surgery through those scopes. No luck. I'd waited so long that the gall bladder was gangrenous. So they had to go in. That's not a pretty scar. I went into the hospital expecting to stay 5 hours. That turned into 6 days. So if the doc's are suggesting to you that you have the surgery, I'm thinking maybe you should. 4 tiny scars compared to my 7 inch long scar plus the 4 tiny scars. The bill will be much smaller as well. Cost me 15 grand for being stubborn. Good luck! \n.
