Hey Andrea!

So glad to hear things went well. I have just scheduled my surgery for 3/3 and can't wait for all my questions to be answered and the pain to be gone. Can you tell me what surgery you did have and did they find any endo? I'm also scheduled for a colonoscopy to rule out any problems there (one can never be too sure these days). Why are so many women having similar problems and no one is doing anything about it? I'm hoping to one day have this sorted out so my 18 year old daughter has some medical history regarding her female health. My family just doesn't go to the doctors so we don't really know. I know my paternal grandmother died shortly after an attempted hysterectomy (or so the story goes) Not sure if she had a cyst or fibroid or tumor on her uterus. This is going back some 50 years! Let me know what your energy level is like after surgery. I have a physical job and I'm not sure how long to expect to be out.
