Kimmi, I am so sorry to hear how you are suffering. I have had 7 abdominal surgeries and was at my wits end too. My surgeon also told me that he wouldn't do any more surgery until I had another bowel obstruction. I left his office in tears. Surgery is not something that I wantd to go through with again but I wanted my life back, even for a couple of months. Through this forum my family and I learned of the adhesion specialists in Scranton, PA. I was recently hospitalized, tested to death, had consultations with GI specialists and was getting nowhere. All the Drs. said it was the adhesions but they didn't want to perform the surgery.(I must say my primary care doc made sure I had pain relief). My dear sweet hubby contacted Dr. Redan via e-mail and he wrote back that he was sure they could help me! We gathered all of my medical records and mailed them there. I am scheduled for surgery Oct. 30th. Please, if you are not happy with the general surgeon, find another one. Is there any way you could check out Scranton,PA? It is your health and sometimes you have to fight hard to get the care you deserve. Do not give up! Friends who stick together, SheryMarie
