Patti,

I had one more thought, make sure that if you go the laparoscopy route that your doc is very skilled in doing them on a woman who has had previous pelvic surgeries. Ask about his/her complications rate and how often they do this procedure on women with previous surgeries-not just laparoscopies without previous surgeries.

My doc would not do a laparscopy on me after having my hyst because the risk of perforation and damage was much higher. I also got a second opinion on this too and they agreed. Because of the 2 C-sections, you might have to have an exploratory laporatomy instead.

Hope this helps.

Best wishes, D.N.
