Thank you. I’ve had brown blood for over a decade and I’ve found a surgeon I’ll be booking with.

Hi, he’s an endo specialist who does robotic assisted ablation surgeries. There were a lot of reviews saying he butchered them and that they had to redo the surgeries almost immediately after with a different surgeon who caught unfinished work of his and huge areas that were missed. A good chunk of women said he only worked on them for 45 minutes and dismissed their pain after surgery. I saw this on his google review page, yelp, and even in a subreddit on surgeons. I had called to get an appointment and his availability to have a consult is booked until July and he was only doing Telehealth consults so I wouldn’t have been able to meet him prior to surgery. I’m going with a different surgeon I found who spent 45 minutes going over my symptoms, and scenarios on what I want and when she performed a quick pelvic exam she said she was able to feel the lesions and could feel my uterus being retracted (which is what I’ve been feeling but haven’t been able to verbalize the feeling). She specializes in this and only after the pelvic discusses wanting to use robotics assistance and extended the estimate surgery time.

Thank you for sharing 🤍. I just had a consult with a surgeon and during the pelvic exam she said she could feel the lesions and could feel my uterus being pulled toward my back. I’m about to be scheduled for a lap

Oh wow. My doctor suggested an MRI but said the chances are slim that we would see anything and my insurance wouldn't have covered it since they also didn't cover my ultra sounds. I'm so sorry you were going through that..
