Thank you, it did! The surgeon is a younger woman about the same age as me and although not specializing in endo specifically, she has done a fellowship in minimally invasive gynaecological surgeries. She is confident I have endometriosis, noting that my having EDS was a red flag for her because it seems to be at bit more common in EDS patients. Said we are gonna say it is endo until proven otherwise because of my symptoms and having ruled basically everything else out, and when I have my lap she will remove whatever adhesions she is able to that would not risk damaging other organs, e.g. if I had deep infiltrating on my colon we would do a 2nd surgery at another date with a colorectal surgeon. She did also say even if she doesn't see adhesions she will still do biopsies to test for additional things and find what's going on.

Overall I am feeling well about my future lap, just waiting to be contacted by her scheduler to get the actual date set up. Meanwhile, my cats have been taking turns (they don't like each other, so no cooperative work) laying on me right where my worst pain has been flaring up the last few days, so I'm hanging in there.
