i know what you mean, it seems that there is a little click going on here just like in high school. well for anyone who cares to read, had surgery wednesday for laparoscopic assisted vaginal hyst. doctor did use intercede barrier, and removed adhesions from previous surgery to remove right ovary and tube. you don't have to go to germany to get this operation done. if one takes the time and effort to research the matter instead of trying just to get sympathy from those on this "support group", one will find there are doctors in the USA who know and do something about this. i hate to be so blunt, but i find that there only a small minority of people who keep popping up on the message boards. i guess i haven't been 'suffering' long enough for my name to be part of the group. i will continue to do my own research and continue to talk to my own support persons, but don't be fooled there is hope here in the USA and if you really talk to your doctor instead of whining to him, he will take notice and listen, course the sugestion of legal action does help also.
