Nay - I had to ask for a referral to a gyno because my dr was happy just to keep on trying pain meds and put me on the pill with no breaks. She wanted me to 'wait a year and see how you are'. Once I got to the gyno, I had my lap just a couple of weeks later - it all happened so fast and gyno said there was no time to waste. Turned out he was right and my endo was just a mm or two off the bowel wall. If it had been any closer it would've meant a bowel resection.

I'd definitely move forward with your lap if you can. Good luck.
