I'm sorry, I've been too sunk in my own mysery to pay attention, but why do you need an operation? Unless its life or death or unremitting agony, I'd think it over for a few years. It can cause more damage than good. Having said that, if I could go back and not have my first operation (hysterectomy) I wouldn't do it. But after everything else that has happened in my body, I'm scheduled for surgery. But believe me, I've read everything and talked to everybody and looked up all I can , etc. You get the idea. Please don't take one doctor's word for anything. Good luck and wait awhile if you can while you gather information from this site, etc. Interceed did not work for me either, although everyone is different and I'm not a doctor. Sorry to be so negative, I wasn't always like this. Love, Sally
