Excision With Laparoscopy And Laparotomy
A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭

I am entering week three of recovery from what was supposed to be a laparoscopic excision of endometriosis and was converted to a laparotomy mid-surgery due to bowel injury. I find myself feel dizzy with headaches now that I am on my own. I also am experiencing abdominal aches and discomfort which makes sense due to everything done....but I just need some reassurance because I am beginning to feel crazy and want to be back to normal? Is this why recovery is 6 weeks? Thanks!

I will be at week 4 on Thursday. I’m so “glad” to hear your responses about the pain. I️ was feeling crazy “again” why I️ would have this amount of abdominal and back pain at this stage 🤔 thanks for sharing! Sending healing energy your way🙌🏼
