I am in northern Saskatchewan, whoo hoo for Canada. I do have a very good endo specialist in Regina who I travel 4 hours to see and is worth it. His name is Dr. Thiel and he is excellent. I am waiting for surgery right now, the list is long, but he is willing to take the time and work with bowel endo. He is going to remove my ovaries (I already had hyst) and clean up my bowels. He said the surgery is going to be quite extensive so I will have to do a bowel prep before hand as in order to remove the lesions chances are he will need to repair and resection as he goes. I saw 3 gyn who were unwilling to try surgury and wanted me to sit at home on disability and pain meds until natural menopause. Not an option for a single mom at 31. Dr. Thiel rocks. He also gave me his email address because I live so far away in case I had any general questions but my family doc is pretty good. I would definately look into it. From what I've heard from others (I previously worked as med office assistant) Dr. Thiel is one of the best in Western Canada. Hope this helps. Feel better soon. Victoria >Hey everyone,
