What if the most powerful thing you could do for your endometriosis care wasn’t another appointment, but a better question? We revisit a standout set of conversations to unpack how to spot true expertise, avoid convincing pretenders, and build a team that actually improves outcomes. Titles and confidence can look impressive; results, transparency, and collaboration tell the truth.

I walk through a practical framework for vetting providers, moving beyond the vague “find an excision specialist” advice. You’ll hear how to evaluate surgical volume, complication data, pathology correlation, and the way a clinician handles your questions. Then we step into the operating room realities of bowel-involved disease with a colorectal perspective: when restraint is safer than risk, why staged approaches can spare complications, and how documentation plus expert referral protects patients when nodules are complex.

We balance the scalpel with the nervous system. From a neurogastroenterology lens, we outline pre-op planning that changes outcomes: stabilizing mast cell activity, anticipating dysautonomia, supporting hypermobility, coordinating anesthesia choices, and creating a perioperative protocol that prevents flares. It’s the difference between hoping for a smooth recovery and planning for it. Along the way, we make the case for multidisciplinary care that looks more like a tumor board than a solo act—gynecology, colorectal surgery, radiology, anesthesia, and GI aligning to reduce blind spots and keep you at the center.

This is a candid, sometimes funny, always practical reflection designed to help you ask better questions, choose safer options, and recognize small wins as real progress. If you’ve felt pressured to “just trust” a confident voice, this conversation hands you the tools to verify instead.
