Your symptoms diffenatly sound familiar. I just went through a lap in March.
My advice to you is to have the lap done just so you know exactly what is going
on inside.  After that be careful at what you have done.  The more times
they go in to check things out the better your chance for adhesions.  I wish
you luck.  This is a hard thing to go through with some though decisions to
make.  But everyone here seems to understand and offer great support.
