If you haven’t already, sign up for Nancy’s Nook Endometriosis Education page on Facebook. It’s a private group with a lot of resources including approved Endometriosis @Excision specialists (who don’t use ablation techniques) that they have vetted across US and internationally. My first laparoscopy was with an obgyn who did not specialize in endo or excision who used ablation and my pain was horrible after that surgery, worse than before I had it. I didn’t know any better that there was a difference in removal techniques at the time. Since then I did a lot of research and used the list of surgeons on Nancy’s Nook to find a trained excision specialist and my recovery and pain levels after my 2nd surgery were significantly improved. It’s worth waiting to see a true endo specialist in my opinion. Good luck to you!
