I wet to that meeting with the specialist, that has been booked 6 months ago, and this time I got different doctor.
She was more keen to get me sorted, so I will have various tests done and in the next three months I will have another appointment o schedule a laparoscopy, during which they will take the samples of the tissue and see what it really looks like and how they can help me.
Now - this got me scared. I never had an operation before, and I have never been put to sleep in general anesthetic. I haven't even had a bone broken when I was a child, and I hate hospitals. But at least this time they want to look into the case, and they do not leave it to be...

After all, anesthesia is nothing to be scared of. Rather the pain afterwards... but when they are doing a laparoscopy they don't have to cut anything, right?

Anyway, I've had anesthesia and you just get real sleepy and fall asleep before you even realize it. they didn't even warn me they were doing it. I remember thinking "I feel wierd, they must be giving me the anesthe....zzzz"
It's not bad really. How bad you will feel after depends on how invasive the procedure is. If they are only taking samples to test it shouldn't be too bad.
Good luck and keep me posted!!

(Of course, anything you're told anywhere other than your doctor about it should be ignored, but I was just pointing out the Wikipedia article for the phrase 'minimally invasive'. Should be little in the way of pain.

No reason to panic. They usually know how to do their job.
