endometriosis surgery chat and packing checklist

this got EMOTIONAL
in less than a week I'll be recovering from my second endometriosis surgery and I'm absolutely terrified. I wanted to chat everything through with you guys to explain why I'm having it, how I've been able to get it on the NHS & what I'm going to be taking with me.
thank you so much for watching. sending you all so much love xxx

Ami, your videos have helped me so much. 2 weeks post surgery and your over planning is definitely my vibe so helped massively. I'm sure you will add these but the beyou patches, buscapan mint and mint capsules helped me. I also got small bottles of sparkling water so it was really fizzy constantly and helped me with my gas pain. I changed my bedding the day before surgery as well so you come home to a fresh bed. I also got myself a grabber stick so I could reach for drinks on my own and if I dropped anything and no one was around. I got plastic ear piercings but when I got to hospital they just taped them up so maybe check before you go to the hassle! Sending you all the love and healing ❤ thanks for all you do for us endo warriors xxx

I had a hysterectomy in September of 2023 with a unilateral oophorectomy and my endo came back in January. I’m having my second endo surgery in two weeks with possibility of medical menopause 😞 it’s an emotional journey

I'm going for my first laproscopic surgery at 7am (in 7 hours) I'm so scared it isn't going to help

[@Vicks234]

The menopause might not be a guarantee as endometriosis’ affects the bowel and bladder too

Very true x

[@margaretgraham3715]

That’s true if that doesn’t work I have to get a operation as this has been years it’s been going on
