Dear Jackie, please look back through the adhesion archives for good advice and doctors. And thank your lucky stars that you didn't have a doctor cut you up when he couldn't see (this happened to me and more so to others here on the board) No surgery is better then bad surgery in my opinion. There's a wealth of information already here on the board from the past, the problem is that those of us still in agony have a hard time responding and those who get well, go on with their lives. Anyway, keep writing and keep hoping and please don't go to anyone who doesn't know what they're doing. Love, Sally
