[quote=Anonymous]I have posted about this here on these boards before- I have stage IV endometriosis and did a LOT of research. Essentially the best way to treat this is to find what people call "true" endometriosis doctors. Not normal OB/GYN's, not a gynecologist oncologist or whatever they are called, definitely not an RE. There are doctors out there who do endometriosis ONLY. None of these doctors are in the DC area.

One of the above posters mentioned Dr. Seckin, he is one of them. Dr. Sinervo at the CEC in Atlanta is another one who is fabulous. (Google him, their website will give you a ton of good information). Most of these doctors will not take insurance - they will work with your company to submit receipts after the fact but you are on the hook for it, ultimately. I had no out of network coverage so this was a big deal to me. I ultimately traveled to see Dr. Patrick Yeung after someone on this board gave me his information. At the time he was with Duke in NC and is now in St. Louis at St. Louis University, where he runs a whole center for endometriosis.

Anyway, I could not have been happier with my decision and if I ever need surgery again, I will go back to him. He did take my insurance at the time but I am not sure if the move to STL changed that. I had to travel to him once for an easy consult, and once again for the outpatient surgery (stayed in a hotel). He basically went in not knowing what he would find, found a ton of the endo, cut it all out, and that was that. I was totally fine up and walking around two days later, was at work 7 days after surgery.

In the three cycles I had post surgery, I got pregnant twice. Once ended in a chemical pregnancy and the next one ended in my now 12 month old! This was after a long year of other interventions that did not result in a pregnancy, including another laparascopic surgery by a respected DC ob/gyn who was not a true endo specialist. My advice, go right to the best and get this taken care of if you think you have it.[/quote]
