Dr Harry Reich is the only surgeon in the world who can deal with your adhesion disease AND assist you in the area of fertility, and to have adhesions as the reason for not becoming pregnant is all the more reason to go to him alone!! Your young, you want children, and it is possible IF your only obstacle is the adhesions, I say, " only " because that just might be a very workable situation as I have heard of the miracles that Dr. Riech has worked in as far as a pregnancy accurruing folowing an adhesiolysis under his expertise.
Will the adhesions return, they MIGHT, but your best chance for a pregnancy AND with having an adhesiolysis with NON reforming adhesions lie in the hands of Dr. Harry Reich. Without him, you have little to no chance, in my opinion, for both of the aforementioned things to happen to you.
Your future at becoming a parent with suffering Adhesion Related Disease lies in Dr. Reich's hands.
Best of luck to you, Zoe.
