Thanks for your replies. I don't think the surgeon is a specialist, but
he did come highly recommended. He did take pictures and removed all of
the endo (which is why he said it wouldn't come back.) Perhaps I'll make
another appt with him to check in.
For those who endo keeps coming back, do you just keep having surgery?
It seems like one could conceivably be in constant surgery throughout a
year?
