Hey Carriane-
I emailed my obgyn specialist from Kaiser who performed my lap surgery
because I do remember him mentioning one endo specialist. I asked him
also if this name can be given w/ location and if there was also one in
the San Gabriel area. When he emails me back, I will let you know what
his answer is..Hopefully he will be able to offer this information. So
keep in touch.
Also, just wondering what was found during your lap and details of your
symptoms/pain and surgery if you don't mind....I have Kaiser and it just
seems so difficult to get the proper diagnosis w/ them...All my
diagnosis (many different ones) see to all be symptoms of this one
debilitating disease....
I would list all my diagnosis now, but I have another doctor's appt w/
kaiser in about 20 minutes, so will reply later if interested.
