Will being there for you the entire time and being your biggest supporter, is what’s making me believe in love again. The way he looks at you and is such a calming presence for your nerves. I love this so much.

[@TheLaurenNorris]

He has been such an incredible partner during all of this💖

[@madelinemarieeloise]

I almost teared up when he was helping her get dressed. I want that one day

[@katiebryant4796]

Everyone needs a Will. He is so sweet to her ❤❤

[@TheLaurenNorris]

He’s been amazing through all of this💖

[@miamiddleton9370]

I love you Lauren and take your time and don’t worry about vlogs rn I know it’s hard!! So many prayers have been sent your way and answered!!!! It’s straight miracles! 💛🌷

[@Adrianaaaa365]

Lauren, i am so proud of you for demanding help & answers! My mom (54) had endometriosis her whole life. She suffered horrible symptoms & never was able to receive any real diagnosis. When she was about 40 years old, she went into surgery to remove a cyst that the doctor found on an ultrasound & once they cut her open they found endometriosis so severe that tissue was growing around most of her organs in her lower abdomen, including her colon. Nobody was aware that she had endometriosis at all because they could never see it. Since it was so severe, they had to remove her uterus & reroute her colon for a few months while her organs healed from the tissue that was removed. I was 10 years old at the time & I remember the doctor explaining to my dad that she almost died because she lost so much blood since it was an unexpected surgery. You are so lucky to be aware of your condition & to be receiving help this young. Thank you for spreading awareness to women around the world.

[@richrosegold610]

God bless you guys.

[@rebeccafarinash9308]

I’m literally crying at how sweet Will has been. I didn’t expect anything less from him lol but it’s so sweet.

[@violetelaine]

it’s so funny, i’m SO not your target audience and am usually a silent watcher, but I truly truly am a fan of you and love watching your videos. I’m like 26 and covered in tattoos, not religious, have never done beauty pageants, totally different music taste, would probably never come across each other in real life, but I stumbled across one of your videos over a year ago and just haven’t stopped watching your story. I’ve also been living with endometriosis since I can remember and it’s so comforting to see another woman talk about their experience. I truly respect and love what you’re doing and your influence. Wishing you a speedy recovery! Love ya! ❤

[@madelinemarieeloise]

This just shows us how strong of a woman Lauren is.

[@TheLaurenNorris]

🥹💖 I love you guys

@@TheLaurenNorris you’re an inspiration girl, keep doing what you’re doing!

[@sarahcastleberry108]

I have endometriosis as well and Lauren you have no idea how much you sharing your story means to me! Three years ago I had my first laproscopy surgery. I did the same thing you did and went to KZbin. There were not a lot of videos and I just know that this video is going to help so many girls! I have watched your videos for years and you have been such an inspiration to me. I also love how you are sharing that you are going to an endometriosis specialist. My OBGYN was my surgeon and had me do absolutely no prep or take any medications before surgery. My OBGYN found my endo and cyst and burned off the endo.. This video is making me think about getting an endometriosis specialist to help me to get better care. Thank you so much for being so real and sharing such encouraging real content! I am praying for healing and that this surgery has really helped you. You are such an inspiration Lauren!! THANK YOU!

[@quabrewton]

Warrior Barbie!! We love a supportive Ken 🥺 So happy you had Will there for you! Thank you for sharing your story, and wishing you the best with recovery ❤

[@TheLaurenNorris]

Yes, this Ken was definitely in support mode! Thank you for watching 💖🫶🏼

[@TheMorganGibson]

I am so glad you were able to finally get all of the help you needed medically!! I will continue praying for your recovery and hope you're doing well!!! We all love you so so much Lauren 🎗💛

[@latashapryor1983]

I was having severe pain and spotting that made me to go the ER and multiple doctors. No one could find anything wrong. I finally had exploratory surgery, and they found endometriosis and fibroids (the size of oranges). It was so bad my uterus was fusing to my small intestine. It's been so much better since then. Best of luck w/ your recovery.

[@AGiftedJourneyx]

For anybody waiting for any kind of abdominal surgery... a gas is used to expand your abdomen during surgery to make more space for the surgeon to work in. This causes bloating and gas pain as Lauren has shared. You do want to avoid small things like drinking from a straw because you're sucking in air and that can make the pain worse. I have an ileostomy, which means a portion of my bowel has been pulled out through my abdomen and sewn to the outside. My surgeon and specialist nurse advised against drinking from a straw, drinking fizzy drinks, talking while eating etc because you are creating more gas. A tip for coughing, sneezing, and standing up is to press a pillow against your abdomen. It can aid with the pain. Keep on top of your pain medication even if you feel you can manage without because you don't want that pain to build and become harder to control. You can use heat to ease your pain but be cautious. If you are using a hot water bottle, put some cold water in it so it is not too hot. Your scars can blister from the heat and because your nerve endings have been cut you may not feel the surface of your skin. Lauren, I hope that you are feeling better, although I am not certain on the expected recovery time for your surgery x

[@taymicastro2749]

Love u explanation ❤iam going to surgery next month very helpful 😊

[@AprilTeniente-eu1mj]

I hope it’ll be just right and back to normal soon. I’m not good at being back to normal sometimes. But I won’t talk about it if me and the whole body parts are back to normal again

I don’t usually comment but I wanted to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing this. I don’t know anyone who’s gone through endo myself but I know that you sharing your experience will help so many others. ❤

This is one of the hardest things ever!! I have had this surgery 2 times and it never gets easier. Proud of you for advocating for yourself!

Will is truly a hero. It is so much easier to recover when you can rely on your partner. ❤

[@xokelseyxo9238]

Oh Lauren, I am so grateful that you finally got answers and surgery to help! As someone who has many health issues and been through many surgeries, I feel your pain. I am so proud of you for being so brave, vulnerable and sharing your Endometriosis journey with your viewers. I am so proud of you for sharing your recovery even when you were not feeling well. Your work ethic never ceases to amaze me. I pray that you have a very speedy recovery! I am also so very thankful that Will has been brought into your life. He has such a big, kind heart. Every girl needs a Will in their life. Sending you much, much love and many hugs all the way from Long Island, NY. You are such a beautiful, inspiring soul. 🌼💛🎗

[@Abbey1shark]

Lauren, honey! First of all, you're amazing! I am praying for you and your recovery. The fact that you are sharing this vulnerable time in your life to help others just goes to show how beautiful and strong of a person you are. I have been recovering from two ovarian cyst ruptures in the last few months and I've been feeling very down on myself. I feel bad about that now. Thank you for everything you do and everything you are! I also purchased from your Amazon list for myself. Sending love and prayers! ❤️

[@rebeccadiera4779]

Thank you so much for sharing your journey, you are such a blessing. I have been dealing with extreme pelvic pain for years now and have never felt heard and have had some rough experiences with doctors. I've been told that I might have PCOS and/or might have endo but never have been given the option of getting answers for the pain just told that well it might be hard to have kids again. My husband and I also lost our son after birth, in Aug. of 2020, the pregnancy was so traumatizing, and the interactions with some doctors were horrible. I have avoided doctors as much as possible ever since. You are the reason I decided to make an appt. with a specialist and move forward with finding answers. Thank you again, you are helping so many women. Praying that you continue to heal and feel healthy and happy!

[@courtneybuescher1656]

The love that you and Will have is amazing. Watching how much he cares for you really makes my heart happy for you! I’m so glad that you got answers and help and are on your way to recovery!

You are so welcome! Thank you for listening to my story💖🫶🏼

[@theashleybclay]

Oh wow...I'm at the point of listening to the prep and this was NOT the same as my surgery several years ago. I know there was preparation I had to do and it wasn't pleasant, but this was just so much. I hope I never have to go through this surgery again because girl, you are better than me. I don't think I could do it. Watching you go through the healing process brought back SO many memories. I thought I was going to be back to normal after the first week and I couldn't have been more wrong. My endometriosis was everywhere from what my doctor told me and I had a 13CM endometrioma that ended up bursting in surgery, so there was more healing after. BEST decision ever, even though it took the full two weeks to be able to go back to my more normal life. My quality of life is night and day and I'm so thankful to the doctor who literally saved my life. I'm so happy that you've gotten answers and are on your way to a better quality of life. 💗💗

[@hollybrewer608]

Lauren, I am so proud of you. Will is right, you’re a warrior Barbie! My mom had endometriosis, but at the time, nobody knew what that was, so they dismissed her and her pain until it was too late. She ended up having to have a full blown hysterectomy, because by the time a doctor believed her, everything had to come out or it could have turned cancerous. I’m so proud of you for advocating for yourself, getting a diagnosis, and then going through surgery and recovery. Having to deal with medical stuff is so hard when you have anxiety, and I am so proud of you for persevering.

Oh sweetie my heart goes out to all you girlies who go through endometriosis diagnosis and treatment! I’m so glad that Will’s mom came out to help you. Abdominal surgery is no joke. You are strong and brave!

You are a very brave strong young woman and you should be very proud of yourself for not stopping until a doctor finally validated what you were going through. Will is the kindest, sweetest man and the way he cared for you during the surgery and recovery was awesome. Thank you for sharing such a personal journey with all of us and I am sure you have helped many young women by doing do. Wishing you comfort and peace going forward in your recovery. Many blessings to you Lauren and also to Will. 💛💛💛💛💛

💛i'm 26 and just had my surgery last week. my story is very similar to yours when it comes to the years of medical gaslighting unfortunately. i even had a laparoscopy in october by a non-specialist and she confidently told me i had no endo. just told me to research the mind-body connection. well i sought out a second opinion from a top specialist and sure enough, i had stage 3 endo and my organs were fused together and/or to my pelvic sidewall in so many places. i'm so glad you finally have answers, too! i'm still in disbelief! here's to healing 💛 also, you handled the gatorade prep like a champ, way better than i did 😅

[@kiml3526]

I just had my surgery last week as well. Ironically, my mom found Lauren’s page just following KZbin, but I went through almost the same experience. I’m 24 and was diagnosed with PCOS and hydrosalpinx (enlarged fluid filled fallopian tubes) last year in October. My tubes were on the verge of rupture, so I had surgery in January to remove the most affected one, but my OB surgeon then left my other damaged tube and neglected an MRI diagnosis of endo, so the pain just got worse. Like you I sought a top specialist in endometriosis, determining the other tube in fact needed to come out and endometriosis stage 2. Frustrated that I had multiple surgeries cause my first surgeon neglected to do his job and gaslight my pain and symptoms, but it’s only up from here for us!💛🤍

Just had a laparoscopy done on March 15th too, after always having severe periods and suffering and suffering and I didn’t ever really mention it much either because it wasn’t worth it, I didn’t want to be gaslit like I was on everything else. I just suffered and dealt with it until I couldn’t. I’m fortunate enough though that I know my family history, my mother had endometriosis, fibroids and ovarian cysts as well, and my mom and her mom both have had hysterectomy surgeries done. I knew this and this was my saving grace moving forward, my mother was my biggest advocate and helping me speak up about this and not settling for anything less. Fortunate enough my OBGYN was amazing and that is who did my laparoscopy and she mentioned she did find it but had to have it cultured to confirm and of course indeed it was exactly that. She did remove it for me as well. I’m hanging in there and managing what to do next for my endometriosis to treat it and keep it at bay, I’m starting Luprin injections, and my golly gosh, don’t start that medication without insurance, because a three month injection is over $5,100! I’m not even JOKING! I just about died and I’m fortunate enough I’m having quite a bit of it covered for now. And I’m just focusing on trying to keep my “plumbing” as some refer to it as, so that I’m still maybe able to try once or twice to conceive my own child.

[@Lydiajean1313]

Other than the semi sad music, I really appreciated how light hearted this video was. I'm having surgery in a few weeks for endometriosis and cyst. Unfortunately my endometriosis has destroyed my fallopian tubes so there's also a chance I will be having mine removed. I've been really sad lately and looking for others' experiences with endo and surgery. Instagram posts were too depressing and decided to try youtube. Your video definitely helped put some of my nervousness at ease. I'm sorry you didn't get to stay in a hospital): my surgeon already said he keeps his patients over night so they can be observed and get help with using the bathroom or pain meds. I'll definitely be using all the help I can get so my bf doesn't have to do too much until we get home!

[@Genok981]

Sending you so many payers and positive thoughts that this surgery will improve your quality of life greatly. I had an ectopic pregnancy surgery a year ago which is a little similar.

I'm so happy for you that you are finally being listened to in regards to your health and pain.

My 3rd surgery getting my cysts remove was the worst recovery. I ended up staying the night in the hospital because of how bad the pain was and then after being home for 2 days I had to go back to the hospital and was anemic and had to get two blood transfusions. It definitely is different depending on the person and the intensity of the surgery. I had 3 surgeries to get cysts removed and have endometriosis and the recovery for all three surgeries was different. The most painful part was the gas pain in your shoulders and the getting up and down for sure. I hope you have a speedy recovery and if you ever need anyone to talk to about it, I am here for you as I have been through it multiple times! ❤

💛🎉 Loved this. Wish I had creators or anyone talk about this. One of the scariest moment of my life was this surgery at 13 and another at 14. Having normal periods with no crazy symptoms 9 years later after getting off birth control. You are encouraging! This needs to be talked about more.

Sending so much love. You are so incredible for sharing this journey online- I can't even imagine how helpful and comforting this will be for girls going through this. You are so strong

Everyone needs Will and his mum ❤. I have had a similar thing, less severe and I know the pain. You are kicking butt girl ❤️❤️. We love the raw Lauren. I know it’s a while since the surgery but as someone with allergies to adhesive - dymista nasal spray and an antihistamine hep SO much with that itching.
