Hopefully I can help...I have had 3 bowel resections due to
endo/adhesional disease. I suggest you see an endo specialist first
off. Women with bowel adhesions are between a rock and a hard place.
More surgery can in fact cause more adhesions, however adhesions can
also cause complete bowel obstruction which can be life threatening. You
need to be closely monitered by a physician you trust and is very
familiar with your condition. Good Luck and God bless ...molly
