Hi Jenny!
We have our laps on the same day Mon 03/04/06!!!I don't know why but
they are taking me in the night before (last time I was in Outpatient &
just stayed the 1 night)and keeping me in until Tuesday or Thursday if
it turns into a Lapartomy (sp?)which I'm praying they won't.
I too have two ovaries but both have endo inside (hence recurring
painful chocolate cysts)the left is very bad but I am still hoping that
he can leave some of the ovary because I know eventually I will loose
both and I'm desperate to have kids.I'm 37 and single but once I'm over
this Op I intend on (with medical intervention somehow!)trying to get
pregnant and going it alone.
Best of Luck in your Lap I hope it all goes well.Just imagine this time
next week we hopefully will be PAIN FREE!!!How weird!!
