I wasn't disputing your diagnosis -- I was just curious if you'd ever thought that your endo was making the IBS worse. But, I guess if you don't know you'll get any benefit from it, I can see why you'd want to avoid surgery if you know you have a long recovery time.
Personally, I really wish I would have read up more on endo and laparoscopy before I did it. I did read up on the lap, of course, but the stuff I read about it and the recovery were more based on procedures where nothing was really done. I wish my subconscious hadn't been so sure they wouldn't find anything!!! I am still glad I did it, though. At least right now. We'll see in another couple weeks how glad I still am.
Hopefully Depo keeps working for you forever!!
