Thanks for your response, I shouldn't have worded it the way I did, I
guess I'm just scared & frustrated that the last several months seem to
be for nothing.
my obgyn's office called to say, he's not doing it, the surgery is
called off, I didn't ask him but would it have made a difference if he
only did the ablation as an office procedure rather than putting me out?
