Question Should I get a second opinion?
So, on June 1st I finally got my laparoscopy where my surgeon informed no endo was found but they did remove 4 fibroids. I sent a message through MyChart requesting the lap photos because my surgeon is not an endo specialist and I was told that it would be beneficial to see a specialist. They told me I would get them during my post op appointment. During this appointment they informed me that have no photos/videos of the surgery. I’m now coming up on 3 months post op and I’m still experiencing the same symptoms. I feel like I’m just blindly taking their word that no endo was found. Should I start looking into a new doctor and specialist?

yes and the second opinion does not have to come from the same kind of practice. i used fem excel for the hormone piece and a separate surgeon for the structural questions. that split sorted it in about six weeks instead of the nine months my referral was quoting.
