I was wondering if anyone else had Endometriosis. I didn't even think when I had my surgery and they told me they were putting my port under my belly button. I have chronic abdominal pain and I think the surgery flared up my endo I am having really bad pain from the port area to my right ovary.

If anyone does share in the pain from endo has loosing weight helped that?

Thanks:help:

Hello Cindyinlv,

I have had endo for almost 18 years...I can write the book on endo, just right not this minute. I KNOW where you are coming from.... When I turned 40, I finally had a full hysterectomy ( no menopause symptoms at all) , totally feel fantastic - best thing I ever did for myself. Now, at 41, I am lapbanded and feel even greater....I was banded Aug. 17th. The port is under the skin, not placed internally. Perhaps your endo is spreading. Mine was at stage 4 - very severe. I live in Pickering. You can pm me if you want at:

Take care, Rose
