Hi Girls - I haven't posted for a while (Jan. 03).  I went to a second gyn. the first week of Jan.  He asked me about previous surgeries (3 C-sections and a hysterectomy at age 30).  Am now 44 and did have problems with hysterectomy recovery.  I don't recall the surgeon at that time telling me anything about what the complications were (ie. endometriosis or anything like that, but I did have some sort of infection and was kept in the hospital for about 11 days) Anyway, the new gynecologist indicated that a cystic and solid mass may have been on my ovary for some time.  He is concerned about doing a laparatomy because I probably have a lot of scar tissue (his words were that because of the scar tissue this surgery cabn be "quite a  daunting task. (am overweight as well).  He didn't seem too concerned about the mass and doesn't want to do the surgery for a couple of months.  The more I think about this, the more it bothers me.  Any thoughts on this.  First gyn. I went to in November also said that because the mass is only 4 cm. he wanted to leave it for three or four months.  Well, we're just about at the 4 months.  Not sure what to do at this point.  Just looking for some feedback.
