I had a laparoscopy in mid Feb. and endometriosis removed from both my ovaries as well as my uterus. I also had a lot of scar tissue on my left ovary that was pulling my ovary toward the base of my uterus where it attached. All that was removed, and though I had some post surgical complications like infection its really helped alot. Before the lap it hurt so much on the left side that I could barely walk. I'm still having lower pelvic and abdo pain (not trying to scare you) but its definitely not as bad. I know my doc still has stuff to tell my and further treatment to discuss at the end of March; she's suggesting Lapron for 3 months and I think I've decided to go for it - at this point, anything is worth a try I figure. Good luck to you Amy
