3rd general surgeonFrom: Toni (anonymous@obgyn.net)Tue Dec 22 12:09:27 1998
I am remembering other things that this dr. said, who is supposed to be good surgeon(ive heard) the one thing he said in a round about way too, was that it is in our head! That right there upset me, he tired to tell me of all the autopies that are done on people and that 60% or more had adhesions, he basically told me that I was crazy that they do not cause pain, first one to tell me this, and he also said that the barriers they use like interceed which my gyn used is al a gimmick, they do not help! They may help in a few small areas, but he does not believe in them, he told me that general surgeons do not believe in surgery, but that gyns. (some of them I guess) love to lysis adhesions. I was told by my gyn that after the laparoscopy that the adhesions HAD to be taken care of eventually, they were constricting my bowel, the general surgons want to wait til you obstruct(seems like) and then they will take care of you. Maybe I am wrong, but I hope when the time ever comes for surgery, I will go with gyn if he will do it! So I saw on surgeon believes in multiple surgeries to wrap bowel for adhesions, and one that says it is in our heads, ADHESIONS DO NOT CAUSE PAIN! Like my gyn said, alot of women DO have them and cause no problems, but there are some it does cause problems with, teh dr today told me that adhesions tugging on your bowel will not cause you pain, I felt like I was goofy! He did say that they could do cat scan, and probably upper GI seires small bowel study, and male sure that there are no other trouble they may have missed cause of all the scarring, and that since I had a family history of inflammatory bowel diesae, they should check my blood for that, but my son and sister were diagnosed at 20 years old, they have crohns disease(ulcerative colitis), my sister has colostomy, last year, and my son is just on one medication he will have to take the rest of his life, this dr said that with irritable bowel, they may have to treat me more aggressively, which I had IBS for years, and no pain, except if it acted up, now the pain is pretty constant! Sorry so long, just confused! Toni
