Before and after surgery- tips on preparing

We get a lot of questions about what to expect before and after surgery. On our Resources page, we have added a section on Preparing for Surgery- Pre and Post-Operative.

In the Before Surgery section, you’ll find links to topics such as:

• Choosing Your Surgeon
• Your First Consultation
• Things to Pack

In the After Surgery section, you’ll find topics such as:

• What to Expect in the Weeks After Skilled Excision Surgery
• Managing Expectations Pre- and Post- Op
• Pelvic Therapy Resources

Another often asked question is whether your endo is “coming back” or persisting after surgery. This is a complicated question, but this might help:

• “Pain persisting after complete excision surgery: Persistent endometriosis or something else?”
