Hi Chris, Yes Monday is the day. The Dr. said that it is out patient but the nurse at the hospital told me that if he has to do a laporotomy I would have to stay in the hospital for 2-3 days . The Dr. told me that he is now looking and leaning towards endometreosis . Due to the fact that I had documented endo back in 1994 . I had an endometriom (sp) cyst in the scar of my c-section . The surgeon that is assisting is the same one that removed the cyst back then . At least he is going in looking for a reason why I am having so much pain . I am really confident with my gyn knowing that he is trying all that he can to help me. I know that there are Drs. that would have giving up (like the one that did my hysterectomy )So I really respect this Dr. for that .Thanks for the support it is very much appreciated and needed . "Friends that stick together" Peggy
