I know alot of people do not care for my gyn. but he is a super gyn. I know how he feels, he keeps telling me it is not in his practice to put his patients in pain. The drs all keep telling me to stay away from surgery for awhile, and I have been to pretty many, not my normal practice, but I have had a tubal years ago, stupind at 23, and then I got divorced and married my husband now, he wanted children, so I had the tubal reversal only a year after the ligation, and that surgery was 5 hours long, I cannot believe I even had it done. I had 3 miscarriages, but I did get pregnant. When I changed to my gyn I see now, the first lap he did 5 years ago, he found extensive adhesions, but at that time they were not on the bowels, they were of course on uterus and ovaries, and the bladder, and they removed all the female organs, now they are on the bowels. what dr removed the adhesions on your bowels, was it your gyn. or gen. surgeon? I have alot of faith in my gyn. and to find another I know I will be sorry, so I am hanging in there for awhile, he has referred me to pain clinic, so it is not like he is not trying to help. Most of my drs say if they keep going in there could end up being permanent damage to the bowels, and I would end up possibly losing part of it, but it has sure been a rough few months, I am going to start counseling at the oain clinic on friday, I do not know what they will do for me. I will see! Take care tracy, I will talk to you soon> Toni
