it only lasted about an hour

>3) If you work, when were you able to return to work after your surgery? i'm a teacher, and i had done in the summer. but i was able to go to a nightclub with my husband (and my best friend named lortab, lol) about 2 days later. paid for it later though with spasms in my right ureter (also had a bladder procedure done)

> If so, did you have PPO or HMO? hmo at the time. at first they denied the surgery because i had just had surgery 7 months earlier for the same thing (did lupron in between, and it didn't do diddly squat except cause more problems and some permanent problems). a letter from my dr and one from my dh (on his law office's letterhead) got them to rethink it. when i had my 3rd surgery a few months ago, it was with a ppo. i had to pay a 15.00 copay for a 15,000 surgery. not too shabby.
good luck. it sounded so scary at the time, because my dr was talking
about possibly doing a bladder resection and making it into a
laparotomy. but it worked out that he only had 1 area to excise that
time. in my other laparoscopies, there was more endo in all sorts of
crazy places. i think the fact they only excised a little bit is why i
felt so great afterward.
