Hi Loubel

Are you trying for children? Perhaps they're just going to clean you up to make things easier?

I'm surprised they're doing another lap then, unless you've got a cyst in there that's in danger of bursting?

Every time you have surgery, it creates more scar tissue. Endo LOVES scar tissue, so in effect every time they open you up, they're feeding it. Even if they're going in to clean you up they're only creating a long term problem to 'solve' a problem in the short term.

If I were you, I'd ask them exactly what they're hoping to achieve with this lap. Obviously everybody is different and there probably is a very specific reason for you, but endo is one condition where people absolutely should not be getting surgery-happy for the sake of it..
