Nervous About Endometriosis Laparoscopy

i'm having my first endometriosis laparoscopy on oct 16th and i'm super nervous. it's not for sure if i even have endo like i have a lot of the symptoms but nothings for sure yet, that's why i'm getting checked but i'm still nervous / worried about how it will go if i do have endo. i'm mostly worried that if i do have endometriosis that getting rid of it and the recovery afterwards will be super painful and hard to deal with, like will it actually make my period better / easier to deal with after? i'm also worried about my surgeon, she seems really nice and she is at a specialty pelvic pain clinic that's apparently really good at helping people with pelvic pain, but i'm worried she might mess up on any removal (she'd be doing burning not cutting, i'm not sure if theres much of a difference or which is best) and i'm just worried something will go wrong or later i will learn i should have picked a different surgeon or a different method of removal (if i do have endo). if anyone has any advice, stories of their own, or just reassurance would be nice!! thank you for reading!
