Recovering from surgery is always hard, what does your doctor say?
Chewing gum helped me (with the gas), and there are other
recommendations on endo-resolved.com and erc.activboard.org/ (google it
if it doesn't come up)
Plus there are OTC gas pills
Did you go to an exper for surgery? I have read of women who have laps
with their ob/gyns having bad pain after, because not all the endo has
been removed.
you can read some info on the erc site, and on centerforendo.com,
naprotechnology.com, endometriosissurgeon.com, endoexcision.com
what kind of pain meds are you using? pain patches (prescribed) can also
help
