Egg binding in Reptiles

[Oatmeal_Cupcake]

We have an Alligator lizard that had eggs but isn't laying them. We have taken her to the vet for x-rays and done as the vet has instructed. However she refuses to lay the eggs and isn't eating. She does show interest in eating but is too full from the eggs to eat. We've called the vet again and they are concerned. They are suggesting blood work to see what kind of medication they can give her to pass the eggs.

I'd like to ask if anyone has experience with egg binding and what the chances are that the medication will work.

If the medication doesn't work then they suggest surgery. But I'm not sure what the survival rate is or if we could afford it with the big move. It is my boyfriends lizard so it would be up to him at the end of it all.
