Hi. I've been diagnosed with stage 4 endo. Even before my lap. surgery
I was horribly bloated and very sore. The area around my belly button
felt like one huge bruise. After the lap....it doesn't get any better!
not for awhile, at least. Others said their bloating subsided within a
month or so of surgery. You may have to force the issue to get
diagnosed. Sonograms can only tell so much and in my case they were
completely wrong. Best of luck and take care!
