Hi- I talked w/ the Doc's office in Bend, OR approx. 6 months ago. A woman from an endo support group recommended him. The problem. he wants money up-front and will not deal w/ your ins. co. My current endo specialist does not agree w/ excision (SP)! surgery because both surgery involving cutterage, lazor and endo can cause adhesions to which can pain for the rest of your life. It also can cause a vicious circle of adhesions / endo - pain and multiple surgeries. That is why you hear of so many women having SO MANY LAPS! Women like most of us who have endo are so desparate to have close to a normal pain-free life that we will do almost anything. I think doctors more than know this and we become their prey. Watch for greedy money hungry doctors. My doc is trying the surgery and is doing his best to control the disease w/ Lupron. However; since I have only had 1 lap to diagnose endo. I am curious why my doc is being that careful and avoiding the surgery. I know he feels that the surgery could cause more damage but 10 months of Lupron hasnt done much. I need to get some relief somehow and get off the drugs so that I can attempt to conceive. This is why I seek a second opinion. Anyone know of a good doc besides Dr. R in or near WA state??? >At Wed, 25 Sep 2002, Brune wrote:
