They will go in at 3 different places with laproscopy and then make an incision to cut a nerve.

I had my pre-op today and she did tell me that I would not come home until my surgeon and PCP felt it was ok. I feel like I am in pretty good hands so whatever comes out of it, I feel it's meant to be. Hopefully it will be successful in stopping this left side pelvic pain.

I know a lot of people on here don't believe in surgery for RSD patients, but you just do what is needed when the time comes.

I hope everything goes as planned, Ada! I thought the cutting of nerves was taboo, is this nerve causing RSD pain? What I recall is the anesteologist and or the surgeon has to really numb the nerve in order to minimize spreading even if you are in a deep sleep?
