Hi -

I don't blame you for being scared and nervous, I think that's a

pretty normal reaction. But you know that you will be getting lots of

prayers from all of the folks on this board, and that we will all be

thinking of you and sending good thoughts your way. Vent all you

want, we're here to listen And if three is anything else we can do

to help you feel better, just let us know!

hang in there... (((hugs)))

First of all, Good Luck!

Be scared, it's normal.

As you must know I done ovarian surgery via laparoscopy,

7 years ago.

It was not bad at all, but I had a real bad side effect from

general anesthesia, and had to stay in the hospital, more time

that I was thinking.

If you are having more doubts than aswers, please, search

another doctor for a second opnion.

By now I also have to redo my stomach surgery, that came wrong.

My doctor said that it's too risk, and he is not prone to do it again.

Another one said that it's very difficult could take more than 6 hours,

but he can do.

I'm decide to stay this way, I'm not doing OK, but I'm afraid to worse,

after another surgery.

One more time, all the best,

Liane
