Trisha well good news is that a Laparoscopy isn't nearly painful compared to what you just had, in fact there not painfull at all, your under right,though after it hurts a little, i'll be going in for my forth lap on the 19 of aug, and hopefully this time they'll find the endo. i am also have a hystoroscopy, and a d+c, and a hydrotubation while I get my lap done, all in all the lap is a safe and best way to go I think thats my opion though. Hope you feel better and take care Jenn At Thu, 28 Jul 2005, Trisha wrote: >
