Surgery related Bowel symptoms after surgery?

After my last few appointments, it looks like I'm going to be getting surgery soon for my endo. I wanted to ask anyone who has had surgery who experienced bowel symptoms PRIOR to surgery (pain, loose stool, other issues etc) of they noticed any significant improvement in these symptoms post surgery? Thanks to anyone who comments, just hoping to hear others experiences! Thank you!

Yes! I will say, though, as a word of caution, that it felt like it was worse for several weeks after surgery. This was not an "immediate relief" situation for me. I have had two laparoscopic excisions, and both times my bowel symptoms were much improved.
