I have had 5 laps and I am going to have one in 1 1/2 weeks. I had a
hyst 4
years ago and was 28 at the time they left my right ovary and that is
what
is coming out on May 16th. I never had any problems with my laps. The
gave
my Drs and me lots of info which I really needed. If you have any ?s
feel
free to to write.
