I have just one name for you: Dr. Korell!!!!! GO TO GERMANY, HAVE THE SURGERY AND GET YOUR LIFE BACK -- I know because I (along with Mary, Helen, Anne (and Bev as our caregiver)) are the group that went to have the surgery and are on the mend. He saved my life!! I was told that I would be dead by my 50th birthday because I have had 18 surgeries (most bowel obstructions due to adhesions). Well, I am 46 too and I said to hell with that, I'm not ready to push up daisies just yet! Thank God for Helen because she is the one who found Dr. Korell. Please give him a chat up via the e-mail system and if he believes he can help you, send your records. I can promise you, it will be THOUSANDS cheaper than here! Write me if you want more info. Loving you in sisterhood, Laura.
