don't worry nothing bad will happen. some doctors will even give you a tranquilizer before the surgery if you are too nervous. it will just have a slight pain in the abdominal area that will be controlled with pain killers and you will be sleepy after surgery. for me it was a little hard to walk. if they find endo it will be removed than. i had this done a year ago. just talk to your doctor before the surgery in regards to the dye that way you will be sure.
