Endometriosis Surgery Recovery & Complications | Vlog Part 3

[@establishedspaces_kristinaash]

I know this video is over a year old, so you probably won't see this. But I want to thank you for this 3 part series! Out of all the Endometriosis videos I have watched, trying to get what a day to day pre-op, day of, and post-op looks like - your videos on it have been the most informative! I have this surgery in 2 weeks and want to be as prepared as possible. I think my biggest fear is that they won't find anything and I won't have answers on what is going on with me 😬

[@juliaschuller2012]

Thank you that means so much! I was hesitant to share so much personal info, but wanted to help people going through it as much as I could 🤗 Your fear is totally normal and valid. I had the same one. Feel free to message me on IG if you want to chat more about it!

I'm having my endo surgery this Monday, my 18th surgery overall.. Your Vlogs are really helping me feel prepared and hopeful to be pain-free 🖤

[@smbledsoe21]

I know you posted these videos two years ago, but I wanted to say thank you for your honesty and alllll of the information. I have an appointment in November to talk to my doctor about getting the surgery because I know I have endometriosis (just haven’t officially been diagnosed) and this helped to prep for the possible future surgery that I’m pretty sure I’m going to be getting so seriously thank you!!

[@amyannshipyor4096]

I did not know I had endometriosis until I was in having a hysterectomy. I am glad they found it so hopefully I won’t have the pain anymore. Endometriosis is no joke thank you for sharing your story.

I just had a lap last Wednesday and was diagnosed with Atelectasis on Friday. I go to the doctor tomorrow to check my lungs again. I was not surprised when they told me in the ER because of your video. Thank you for sharing your experience!

[@juliaschuller2012]

Omg I’m so glad this helped you with that! Best wishes for recovery ❤️ mine was soo easy to fix with a few days of deep breathing.

[@amystullenberger8609]

You mentioned left sided pain with endometriosis. What did that feel like for you because I have been having right sided pain for some time now and it's chronic

[@Rajah1027]

What scar cream do you recommend? I had my surgery a week ago and would like to know what works best! Thank you! 😊

[@l.michelle5629]

I have stage 3 endometriosis, my dr recommended birth control, i, like you want to try the aip paleo diet, what website do you use for the recipes?

[@juliaschuller2012]

It’s been so many! I wish there was one good one I could recommend but I’ll try to make more food videos soon!

[@l.michelle5629]

@@juliaschuller2012 thank you so much. I wish i could find a good dr in wi who doesn't push birth control.

Did it take 6 months for you to reach your new normal? I had my surgery 6/28

[@animaestaudt]

i can’t wait to watch more of your vids on paleo😭

[@juliaschuller2012]

You’re so sweet 🥲

[@brieestar0307]

What type of bowel problems did it cause for you? Constipation? That’s what it caused for me!

[@Piperloumeditation]

I had a hysterectomy when I was about 37 left my ovaries but I’m going back to get ovaries out now due to the endometriosis at 49 . I was actually pretty good but the last few years has been bad . I saw another video how birth control helped control plus be able to have a child . For you that be good to watch . Did you get constipation after surgery. But great help for people ..

Hope this helped! 💛

@@juliaschuller2012 Yes, it did. I saw you received antibiotics few days later? My doctor never stopped them, they gave me intravenous ones in day 1 and 2, and in day 2 I came home and he gave me for 7 days to take antibs, as a prevention. So I have antibiotics for 9 days straight after the surgery, as a prevention, a good safe method I would say. I will also have injections in the next 3 months to stop my period for a while, I like that because I heard the first period after surgery is very painful , so that will meam no pain for few months. I am happy that you sorted the breathing problem, it must have been bad , bless you. My heart goes to all of you, especially here on KZbin most of the girls are so young, I am in my 40's, it must be even harder to deal with this when you're far younger....A big hug to you all. I have watched loads of life stories and I was very well informed, the doctor was surprised of how much knowledge I already had, just by listening to your stories 🙏💛.

[@juliaschuller2012]

@@vibes811 listening to videos on KZbin helped me so much too! It helps to not feel so alone. I’m glad we could meet through here too :) My first period after surgery was awful. I bled for 14 days and had to go on bed rest! The pain wasn’t as bad as how much I bled. I hope you are feeling better?

[@vibes811]

@@juliaschuller2012 yes, at home, I got rid of that gas, so I am fine. Incisions hurt a bit but I am on meds I am fine. I had my first shower after 4 days, I also opened my bowel aftet 4 days, so my 4th day looks like a success day lol. I just rest all day, I sleep a lot lol. I just eat, take meds, use the toilet and back to sleep. I think we are also mentally exhausted, especially before the first lap, not having a diagnose yet, not knowing what you have, it was stressful.

[@juliaschuller2012]

@@vibes811 glad to hear you’re doing better! :) but yes, the emotional stress is tough. It just took time for me physically and mentally heal.

[@MegOrtega]

Out of all the videos I have watched, yours have been the most informative and organized! Thank you for your vulnerability and sharing your journey with us! I have this surgery in 4 weeks in GA, and I feel a little less worried about it thanks to you! 🤍
