Toni,
Never a laparotomy! I am having a videolaprascopic surgery. In my humble
opinion, the only way to go. I will never let anyone cut me open again if I
can help it. It can be done with the scope and the least invasive the
better! I am going to Atlanta, soon, I hope, just waiting for the stupid
insurance company's okay now. With this procedure, you get a video of your
surgery and can actually see what it looked like, what they do and how it
looks when they are finished. I love that and you can show it to your future
doctors so they can see "from the inside" what is happening to you. It helps
convince them your problems are real. Wish me luck and I will let you know
when I go! Ginni
