The specialist that performed my last surgery using "Seprafilm".. and it's the best I have ever felt. No niggles straight after surgery, no pain at all. I'm sure it's the variable in my 30 operations. It doesn't seem to react like the gel, but then again, my observations are only from my ARD friends.
Robyne had her whole bowel wrapped in Seprafilm and during the course of this operation, the surgeon commented that the adhesions had meshed like concrete around the bowel, but not one actually touched the barrier !! That's kinda awesome for the product I think. Suze has Seprafilm placed around her liver etc., but I think it's the old saying "Everyone is different".
I would jump right in again, and DEMAND they use it, if need be again.
I had no reaction at all, and none of my friends seem to have any type of reaction so far either ;-)) I know it can only be used in certain circumstances though, infections stuff like that, it can't be used.
Hope this helps some, Your pain pal Trace xo
