My Surgery...

They found Endometriosis on my uterus and right ovary when the did the LAP "Laparoscopy" surgery where they go into my bellybutton and fill me with CO2 and put a camera in there to help them see and do the surgery. I had a DNC as well, in which they found two polyps and removed them and are testing them for any kind of abnormality. They did a procedure on my bladder for the IC "interstitial cystitis" Where they filled my bladder up the size of a leader to help expand my bladder which in turn helps with this disease. They then ran dye through my fallopian tubes to make sure there isn't any blockage. The dye did not go threw... There was blockage at the end of my fallopian tubes. The Doctor said it is better it is there then further up inside, because they can do surgery to help that. If it was any further up it would be very difficult to unblock them. They burned the Endometriosis on my uterus and on my right ovary, they said it looked promising when they finished. I am going back to see the Doctor on July 7th for a check up and for them to schedule a time for them to test my fallopian tubes to see how bad the blockage is. It will be a less invasive procedure where they will run dye threw them and do an x-ray to see if it is a real blockage or if they were just seizing up due to being moved around so much during the surgery. Just pray for God to give me peace about this and for my body to heal. I don’t want to go threw this surgery again…It is very painful and overwhelming for me right now.
Thank you for all your prayers.
Love, Laura
