what to tell the surgeon ?

morning everyone.

I've had issues for the last year and a half.

I've always had bad periods but was put on degeserol when my major issues started.

I was referred to a gynecologist and she suggested a laparoscopy.

Thebad periods stopped when I went on the pill but the back ache, hip pain, random abdominal pain, lightning bolts inside my vagina, pain over ovaries and pan in the rectum has continued and 3 random periods that were painful with black blood.

my question is, I waited so long for this lap,should I remind the gynecologist where my pain is?or will this be patronising.

Will she come and see me before the surgery.?

From whatI understand, she isnt just an endo specialist.She does lots of gynecological things

I'm worried shes going to routing around and miss something!!!

any word of advise on how to talk to surgeons or who to go through to get the message across would be great.
