i'm sure her she didn't mean it to sound the way it did. I remember by SIL offering the same thing and I was a bit taken aback by the prospect.

I have had a few of the Lap procedures and it is certainly not a bad idea, I know when they did mine they checked my tubes and a few other things while they were in there. The recovery is not too bad, you to feel a tad poked and prodded but!

I would suggest doing some research as Marcellus has suggested (try not to google though, I would get out some medical books) and then speak with your Doctor. If you are not getting the information you need I would find another specialist who is more willing to look at other areas.

Keep your chin up I really hope everything works out for you.
