Mini Arc Sling REMOVAL :(

I am 34 year old female,I have had complete hystrorectomy back in 2004
I had a Mini-Arc Sling put in on May 17th 2010.     The past month I have been nausated and haivng sharp pains in my right side.  I go back to my OBGYN on Tuesday, August 10 2010 and we do C-T Scan of abdomin, that was good no signs of anything and we do blood work, which my white blood count was a little elevated, so he gives RX antibotics and he did a pelvic exam which I was in great pain and have great pain with intercourse. I return to the doctor  Wednesday the 18th of August and we do another pelvic, which I was in great pain when this was done.    Now the option I have been given is to have the Mini-Arc Sling removed this coming September 1st 2010 and my doctor has said he has never had this problem and were going to do a  Laser Laparoscopy and he is going to try to REMOVE the Sling.....and said if he can't remove it he will send me to a specialist.   my QUESTION is can the Sling be removed safely.   My hystrectomy was due to severe endometrious and 6 miscarriages..........lost and confused and scared and would love some advice.
