Hi girls,

I sent amber an email yesterday about the same thing, sonya. Yes adhesions can grow ANYWHERE! I have had 2 laparotomies in 5 months and 1 lap, and when the dr went in in sept, he had found extensive dense adhesions on the bladder, large colon was suck to pelvic floor, he lsyed adhesions off the entire length of my small bowel, and removed the omentum. They were dense and very thick even after 4 months, and the only others were on the sigmoid colon, which was still filmy adhesions. I cannot believe all the surgery they did for me last year and now I am in pain center, without any help.

My gyn has told me and my husband that they are always looking into new barriers, and that buting some time may help, and by then hopefukkt they will have them approved for adheions parients to use.

Tonni
