OH MY GOODNESS! I have NEVER heard of such a thing!

One theory in the cause of Endo is "reflux", but I have never heard of a doc sealing the tubes! I am sorry, but I am just shocked. I would look into this more, as you are. This doc is either onto something or "on" something!!!!

Keep us updated as to your findings b-cuz I am curious.
