"I scheduled my surgery today! I’m a legit nervous wreck because I’ve NEVER had any kind of surgery before. Thankfully my boyfriend will be here with me the week I have surgery. He’s been my rock in all of this!!" - member on MyEndometriosisTeam

On MyEndometriosisTeam, the social network and online support group for those living with endometriosis, members talk about a range of personal experiences and struggles. Surgery is one of the top topics most discussed.

Here are some question-and-answer threads about surgery:

• So today I scheduled my laparoscopic hysterectomy. I’m wondering if anyone could tell me how long after surgery should my husband stay home with me?
• Just had robotic endometriosis surgery and this recovery is worse than expected! Anyone have any advice for quick recovery?
• First lap ... what should I expect?
• Has anyone else had endo on the bowel and had surgery for it?
• I am trying to set some realistic goals for pregnancy following excision surgery.

Here are some conversations about surgery:

• 7 weeks since surgery, and 0 pain today!
• It has been almost 3 months since my most recent excision surgery and I am feeling sooo much better.
• This surgery has left me so weak and sick all i can do is sleep and sit ughhh.

Can you relate?
