Does Anyone Use A Portable Heating Pad? And Know Where To Find One?
A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭

How Long Did It Take You To Recover From Laparoscopic Surgery?
A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭

My doctor put on my form that I only need to take one day off for the surgery and then the next day from work. Does that seem right??
