Sandy,

Your Dr. may not be doing a laparoscopy because she doesn't feel a need to. I was dealing with Endometriosis. You are dealing with possible fibroids...different problems, different treatments.

Good luck with your surgery and let us know how it all turns out.

I'm not a Dr. or any type of Medical Professional.  The information I share is based on what I have experienced personally or what I have learned.
