A bit nervous about lap operation ? what they will find etc?hey there, im a 25 year old female

I was wondering if people could tell me a little more about lap surgery.for possible endometriosis, (painful periods since 16)

I finally got somewhere with a doctor here in australia (kiwi from NZ) and the gyno put me on the waiting list (catergory 2) in the royal womans in melbourne.

Im wondering if anyone would know how long the waiting will be, also the recovery time for D & C, cp lap? and hypteroscopy?

My mother had a HUGE like 30cm by 25 cm or something ovarian cancerous cyst filled with 10ltrs of fluid?her sister, my aunty had breast cancer?and there mother died of cancer, lol so im also wondering with a couple of new symptoms of mine if i should mention them to my gyn at royal womans hospital.? They are feeling bloated and full, but still can eat ok. I am on my feet between 4 ? 6 days a week with work. (customer service job) so im quiet active and fit, climbing up stairs and stuff quiet abit. Starting to feel a little pain on my side where i suppose my kidney would be, my lower back hurts all the time. I feel like ive gained weight but yet i havent in any other areas other than my stomach. Also breath whilst sitting down is a little bit more harder.

Im not worrying as it wont help me any but as there is like 3 generations of cancer on my mother side its like do i say something or just wait until i come up on the waiting list.

The gyn has put me on the short notice list as well, also he ticked a box that says ? does the patient need to attend surgical pre admission clinic?? whats that? lol im also really tired of late, sleeping in, through my alarms, which are very loud to get me up lol

so yeah, couple of questions and maybe some stories about anyone who has been through it, tips and pointers etc would be great.

Thanks in advance
thank you very much for your very quick and informal response. You did answer all my question i think i may have confused people, umm i have all the time a sore lower back, my stomach is extended all the time like im 5 months pregnant. Kidneys hurt 90% of the time like a dull ache, or pressure on them or something. Just started feeling OVER tired and sleeping in for the last 2 weeks now. I was losing alot of weight from my stomach and then it started bloating?2 weeks ago, apart from when i have my period of course? thank you again for your quick response, i got put on the list 05/02/09 so possibly if im lucky 05/06/09 supposidly lol? which sucks if its true as im off to NZ for 2 weeks from the 06/06/09

-I do care!
A Category 2 patient is SUPPOSED to be operated on within 90 days of the referral for surgery time.

Mentioning your family history won?t get you in any quicker as he/she has you on a quick waiting list as it is.
A Category 1 is only the fastest and that?s for people who will die if surgery is not performed within 4 weeks.

A Pre-Admission Clinic is where you go and do all your paperwork and answer questions before the admitting day. It saves them time if it?s a long and complicated history.
They can also answer ANY questions you may have about your hospital stay.

Recovery times vary on the procedures.
A D&C is a Day Case. In fact they are all Day Cases. But a D&C can take a few days to recover from to a week to feel yourself again.
A Hysterscopy is the same with recovery to the D&C.
Lap surgery to remove adhesion?s and investigate takes a little longer to recover from. Everyone is different, but on average a week to heal. And another week to feel yourself again.

You may have a case of anaemia too by the sounds of it. Very common with endometrosis as it makes periods heavier.
That would be why you feel so tired and run down.
Endo can also make your back hurt.
It could also be a kidney infection, but I would suspect Endo as you haven?t mentioned any other major symptoms.

I think I answered all your questions?
Did I miss any?

The woman?s has a good reputation.
Plus my friend works there.
