Susan,
What are your pain symptoms? I had a TAH/BSO on Mar. 2 99 and started
having pain, mainly lower back pain that almost seems nerve related
about 4 months after my surgery. I'm scheduled for a diag. lap and
possible removal of adhesions on April 12. I had endometriosis mainly
in the cul-de-sac area and behind my uterus. I also had adenomyosis and
fibroids. I have had a previous lap. to diagnos my endo and had my
gall bladder removed in 98 laproscopically. They thought that was
causing my pain but it was the endo. I wish you luck with your lap. on
4/27. I have a strong pulse very close to my belly button and I know I
have had a ultrasound done to make sure where that main artery is for
doing the lap. It does make one a little nervous.
