I know exactly how you feel but hopefully you will start to feel better! It took me the first few days then I stopped the painkillers because I hated the way they make me feel!

You can do this!!!

Hmmm, I asked a million questions to my surgeon after my second Lap.... My first one was thrown at me and I had no idea what I was getting myself into haha

I would ask him/her where they excised from.... (ovaries, bowel, etc) and if it could be any where else
Ask him/her what they plan on doing to slow the progression of the endo
What medications you will take to give you pain relief ... if you need any (sometimes the oral contraceptives/other methods do not work)
Maybe ask if they know anyone who they would recommend for acupuncture? My mother has had MAJOR relief with acupuncture with her Fibro and many women I know have had relief from endo.... I actually just asked for a referral around me!
Maybe ask about saving eggs? Or if you are at a higher risk of infertility. (make sure the doc has GREAT credentials with fertility!)

That is all I can think of for now!
I am just like you...I have to write down my questions or I will go mad sitting in the office.

Bring someone with you to ask the questions you might have missed! Best of luck! Hope you find relief soon! *HUGS*
