Stephanie,
I'm so sorry you haven't been able to find some relief from your pain, I know you were so hoping that the surgery would provide some respite...here's a hug!  Are you taking any meds at all, bc or lupron?  If you aren't taking something to supress the estrogen in your body then yes, I imagine that the endo could be coming back that quickly.  That's why it's a good idea to get on something right after surgery.  I'll be thinking about you...message me if you want to talk.
