The implants must still be in there, so >what do I do now? I also have a history of Endometriosis. I just had a laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy (LSH) for Adeno. One thing that you will find many who have been down this road say is get yourself to an Endometriosis Specialist. I go to Robert Albee of the Center for Endometriosis Care (http://www.centerforendo.com). He is excellent. He not only did my Excision surgery in 1998, but he has also done a surgery for adhesions and this LSH. He is also my GYN. His Partner, Ken Sinervo is also excellent! Ken Sinvero trained under Dr. Albee as well as Tom Lyons who will post and hopefully will see your questions. Dr. Lyons is also a well known Endo Specialist. All three of these Docs are in Atlanta, GA. Also, go to The Endometriosis Research Centers website at http://www.endocenter.org. There you will also find links to their support groups....sign up for both the ERC List on Yahoo as well as EndoDocs on Yahoo. -- Robin Next message: Pat Sonnenstuhl: "Re: PREGNANCY: Referral of New York Ob-Gyn Needed" Previous message: meme1: "PREGNANCY: Referral of New York Ob-Gyn Needed" In reply to: Concerned and scared: "HYSTERECTOMY: Op report says endometrial implants in posterior cul-de-sac.
