1) Has anyone had such severe, deep infiltrating endo on the bowel and needed to have a colon resection performed during laproscopic surgery? If so, did you need to have colostomy bag for a few months, as the colon healed?
2) Also, has anyone had deep infiltrating endo on your bladder and once it was removed during surgery, did you need to have a catheter for a few weeks?
If so, can you please share your experience. Thanks.

I had deep infiltrate endo on my bladder and blocked ureter. Yes I needed to have a catheter on for 3 weeks.

Cecilia, I appreciate your response. Thank you for sharing. How was your experience with the catheter and your recovery? Has the endo come back on your bladder? I hope you are doing well.

Catheter was irritating but not painful. Just very annoying.
The endo has come back on my bowel for sure, but I haven't have IC symptoms, so hopefully my bladder is clear. They have removed part of my bladder so it was small and I need go more frequently for a while.
