Hello =]

Backstory - AMAZING luck!!!:
I had surgery back in November for Endometriosis. My doctor said the surgery failed because of my weight (a - I know women my size and larger who have had this surgery successfully and b - isn't laparoscopic surgery what they use for LapBand?) ANYWAYYYY I called BS on that and then my doctor left the practice.

In December, I decided to try again. My friend had the surgery with a great OB/GYN surgeon and she got pregnant within a few months. Problem is, he is so good that he's always books for months into the future. So, my appointment was April 16th.

A few weeks after I made the appointment, I found out I was pregnant. So, I canceled the appointment - obviously I couldn't do/wouldn't need the surgery anymore. Then I miscarried.

I kept thinking...I need to make another appointment. But what if I get pregnant in the meantime? I haven't gotten pregnant since and the other day, the doctor's office called to confirm my appointment for April 16th!!! They forgot to cancel the appointment!!!

SO, now that I'm a little more prepared, is there anything you think I should look into or ask about this stuff? I don't want to get stuck with another set of hospital bills for no reason again. Has anyone ever heard of this weight problem with lap surgery for Endo?

I'm so excited and I hope everything works out this time. The pain has been UNBEARABLE these last few weeks. And OMG after sex I just can't move because of it. It's like the final insult: pain after sex. I can't stand it, and it sucks to have that pain when you are TTC!
