But I do know that he said I need to stay away from anymore surgery, cause of the adhesions I form, I guess I will just have to deal with living with the pain. Oh well, there is nothing else to do. These tests do not show alot when adhesions are there, the lap showed a real mess in aug. so there you go, they feel the same way with me, no surgery unless a blockage is there, and it gets dangerous for us, well maybe while we wait and suffer, they will come out with a barrier or something that will work, my gyn said something about wrapping the entire bowel when they ever opt to do surgery again, so I dont know.
