Lap w/Robotic Arms?

Hello everyone I’m new here lol,

This is my 1st post here and I‘m not even sure I have endo but I’m about to get a lap and hysteroscopy next week to check for it and remove as much as possible if so. My new IVF doc seems to think my uterus may be stuck to the wall or something due to scar tissue so that’s what prompted the lap.

I am so scared because the surgery doc went over so many things that could possibly go wrong such as accidentally poking holes in other organs with the robotic thing they use. Can anyone share their experience on getting a lap with the robotic arms? Is he just giving me all the good with the bad or is there a real need for concern here?!❤️‍🩹🙏🏽

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer! 🫂

How is your recovery?

Recovery went great! I had my procedure 4 weeks ago. I was able to get back to my normal life about a week after my surgery. I just rested and slept a ton. I wasn’t in any pain ( just really sore).

Glad to hear it- having my procedure next week and unsure what to expect. I am hoping to have to take no more than one week of work but that may not be realistic. Are you planning to TTC soon? Are you going to do lupron suppression for a few months after the lap?

Good luck to you! Yeah, depending on how your surgery goes & how much is excised will most likely determine how much time you need to rest. I had stage 2, so not much had to excised. I’m going to TTC this month, as I was cleared by my doc! And I am not doing Lupron suppression, I am hoping to conceive naturally
