Jennifer, I definitely understand where you are coming from. My first
lap the doc diagnosed me with stage IV endo but didn't take all the
adhesions out which I don't understand why. He said that my right tube
was blocked and he drained it, but didn't remove my endometrial cyst. I
don't understand these docs. I would go to another doc and try to get
the film from your last lap (my doc wouldn't give me the film from my
lap, I hope you have better luck than I did). It makes you feel like
they are just waiting for it to get worse, doesn't it? I have a lap
scheduled for May 4th and that is my fear, she will just go in, look
around, and then close me up. I am sorry this has happened to you. I
pray you are able to get the help you need.
