Hello, I’ve asked a couple people some questions about their ops in the lead up to my own. So I thought I’d update here. Plus visitors have gone home now and it’s a bit lonely.
Anyway. I was first in and think I was in for about an hour and a half.
I’ve been fighting for this and suffering from endo for 16 years.
Turns out the entire inside but of my pelvis are stuck together. In my consultants words “your pelvis is an utter mess”. To the point where he couldn’t even see my ovaries and tubes. My uterus is stuck to my bowel.
I’m full of endo, adhesions and scar tissue. The tissue is from both the endo, and from old appendix infections that have gone unnoticed despite me going to the docs for the pain. In fairness I only actually get pain when it’s time of the month. Apparently if I’d have actually got pregnant during the two years we’ve been trying, it’s more than likely it’d have been ectopic and I could have died. He couldn’t do a huge amount today because it’s just so glued, and if he’d tried unsticking my bowel there was a risk of me needing bag (because it hadn’t been expected or prepped).
I’m basically lucky to be alive. It’s madness.
I don’t expect anyone to reply really. Just wanted to get it out.
