Ann, This is a decision you have to make . Each parent has their own feelings as to what is right for their child. Also what does your endo. say? is there a medical reason, urilogical or other that neccesitates surgery? At this point no one can say what the long term effects of surgery/no surgery at this age will be. it's mostly a individual decision. There are alot of wonderful, experienced people on this site, but they can only give their ideas and experiences to you. Good Luck!
