Hi , are you all from cinti ohio? I saw dr semertzidies last year, and I was not impressed of all the surgery he planned for me. He said I woulld need at least 5-6, now my gyn found a general surgeon who would work with the gyn in surgery, I too definitely was told by 4 drs, I will need a laparotomy for sure!

I f you are from cinti, let me know where!
