Second endo removal surgery is mar 16. Scared its all in my head or pain isn't severe enough and they'll find nothing.

Anyone else have appendix removed to be safe?

Had surgery and mine returned. Damaged appendix plus cyst & tumor on ovary plus endo on bowl, cul de sac, and paracolic region. Super nervous and sad.

I had a second surgery. It had all grown back, sadly. There is a 50% chance of regrowth of the endometriosis.

Unfortunately, I know mine has returned again.

Did they biopsy your appendix?
What kind of scope?
I had endoscopy and colonoscopy. Only showed minor gastritis. I didnt think endometriosis could be seen on those tests?

I'm sorry you're dealing with this. I had my appendix removed during my first endo surgery (laparoscopy). I've had a scope (non-surgical imaging) done just to see if there were any more endo growth. They found nothing. I just had some incision pain after surgery (appendix removal) but otherwise I feel fine without it. I don't think it's affecting me to be without it. I hope you get the treatment you need and get relief. God bless you!
