Was all your surgery from adhesions, kim? I am in the same boat just last year I had 2 laparotomies and 1 lap in a 5 month period, I want the gyn to take care of me still in the future, now that female organs are gone, the adhesions are causing ALOT of pain b/c they are all over small and large intestines. I do not know where to go from here, I am seeing pain specialists right now to buy time until my gyn will do another lap, he is afraid till things settle down, and he is trying this approach for awhile, not pain free yet!
