Thanks for responding Peggy. NO I have never heard of adhesion barriers
before. I am surprised becuase my endo specialist is very good. Are
adhesions that are cut away more likely to come back? Also, is the only way
to see adhesions is thru a lap? You can not see them via ultrasound can
you? What kind of doctor do you see for adhesions?
Thanks,
ANdrea

once again. They found adhesions on my bowel, actually a large one joining
my left side and colon and cut that away. Is there a difference in actually
lasering or removing an adhesion and just cutting it away? My gyno cut it
away, and I am in fear that it is back again already. I have severe left
sided pain again, back pain, and pain with bowel movements again. Besides
the fact that I can hardly ever go despite all the laxatives that I am on.
What do you think? I also can never finish going to the bathroom. I am
afraid that I have rectal adhesions or something. My gyno and gastro said
there is nothing more for the adhesions that they can do, so my other
question is, should I see a colorectal surgeon? I appreciate any advice on
this subject. After 8 doctors I am getting hopeless.....
