I really think your husband has provided you with the best advice you can get.
The only thing I can tell you from experience is I also had endometriosis, but because I was only 28 doctors weren't keen on just taking everything out. They took my uterus on Nov. 15, 1978, my left ovary in Dec., 1978, and my right ovary the second week of January, 1979.
I am one of those lucky individuals who grow scar tissue for a hobby. I hadn't had so much as my tonsils removed before this. Afterwards, trouble with abdominal pain brought be a referral to a gastroenterologist, who told me that because of all the abdominal surgeries I have massive scar tissue, and that scar tissue would end up wrapping around my intestines unless I keep them pliable by walking.
Weather permitting, I have walked 4 miles a day ever since. Thus far, at 75, those adhesions never wrapped around my intestines. I found it most interesting that in Europe they use something that they wash the area where they have done surgery to prevent adhesions, but the U.S. will not approve it.
Again, find it interesting that dyes were banned in food in Europe 30-40 years ago. U.S. just now!!!
