Surgery!!!

I'm going to have endo surgery!!!!!  WHOOOOO HOOOOO!  

Yep, I am WAY TOO excited about the possibility of surgery!  The things IF will do to you!

I had a great appointment this afternoon with my fertility guy, Dr. G.  Doug and I met with him to discuss all my messed up female parts.  Dr. G, Doug and I all agree it's time to get this baby making show on the road!  Nothing has happened in the almost 2 years we've been married and now that my weight is at a good place, it is time to move forward.  Hearing that was music to my ears!

We had been in a waiting pattern as far as fertility surgery, meds, etc. this year due to my surgery last December.  It would have been fine if we had gotten pregnant on our own (ha!), but Dr. G really wanted to wait to do surgery for my endo until I was almost or at 1 year post-op from my gastric bypass.

I have been having so much pain lately, it is almost unbearable.  I wake up in the night from pain.  I have trouble getting out of bed because of the pain.  It's there all the time and it's getting worse.  I have a gut feeling the majority of the pain is from my right ovary being stuck to my abdominal wall.  Ouch.  It's in a very specific spot and Dr. G agreed that that is most likely the cause of the worst pain as well.  However, to be safe, we are doing a repeat CT scan next week to make sure nothing else is causing this pain.  If the scan is clear, then he will schedule surgery ASAP!  Whoot!!

I'm beyond excited.  I literally did a little conga line dance out of the office.  I think Doug was a little embarrassed and I have no idea what the people in the waiting room were thinking.  He he.

I know this might not be the fix we need to conceive, but it feels like it is a step in the right direction.  I sometimes am filled with SO MUCH HOPE about conceiving and then I will remember that one tube is totally blocked, one is partially blocked, I'm not great at ovulating and I have endo all over.  Then I am SO LOW.  This can all occur within a matter of minutes.  It's crazy.  After surgery, surely some of this up and down anxiety will be lessen.  He will be removing endo, unsticking (that's my technical term for it) my ovary from my abdominal wall, delicately flushing out my tubes and opening them and removing any adhesion's that I have.  How could this not help??  At the very least, I'm hoping for some pain relief.  And in all honesty, I really am hoping for much much more!
