My Biggest Postoperative Struggle // Endometriosis Excision Surgery

[@jubyD]

I just had laparoscopic surgery for endometriosis and I feel similarly. I had horrible pain and had to be admitted into the hospital. I felt like I was being tortured. And I regretted the surgery immediately. Even after the pain was mostly gone, I was super emotional feeling depressed for the first time in my life and angry. I'm going through it. And it's not just the diagnosis. It's an emotional Rollercoaster. No one really goes in depth about the mental health side. Hoping girls and women find this video before surgery, but even after it, it's nice to see someone else who understands. I'm definitely sad about a lot of things. And I realize the Healthcare system expects women to undergo such difficulties and just get over it and deal with it. It feels like major surgery, but isn't presented that way. It's life changing. But definitely wasn't prepared for the depression. Thank you for this video. It means a lot to me.

I could not agree more. Approaching my second laparoscopy and can’t thank you enough for your transparency. It’s the first I’ve heard of it but I’ve been experiencing what your discussing for months. Thank you for bringing awareness with your transparency!

You are SO brave and I appreciate your unfiltered vulnerability, more than you will ever know but I'm BEYOND EXHAUSTED with TALKING about ENDO...that's ALL everyone EVER does!!!!!! It's like living a mental, emotional and physical PRISON!!! WE DESERVE MORE THAN TALK THERAPY - WE DESERVE A CURE!!!! We deserve PROPER and FULL health care coverage...we deserve so much that we're forced to go without. I don't know how old you are but the older you get, the WORSE it gets and the LESS your body can handle it - it's the BIGGEST mind fuck of a disease and as it stands, we are at its mercy, until WHEN? - If this was a disease that men had to struggle and suffer through, we wouldn't even be having this conversation - it would be a NON-ISSUE. The government and our health care system are rigged - it's survival of the fittest and they give ZERO FUX about what happens to US. I can't be all sugar and spice about this disease, any more and yet, I don't have the strength, money or resources to fight it. #RealTalk
