OK, the chicken is almost ready to cook and I sat down to check my e-mail...went over to that yoursurgery.com web site, thank you Helen for posting the URL! It has some useful information BUT I thought there should be something about adhesions on it. I found a comment form and filled it out with this information, maybe they will post some stuff about adhesions? We'll find out...

WELL NOW for some weird reason the last e-mail I wrote sent itself before I finished typing it! <G> COULDN'T possibly be operator error, eh? Anyway, this is what I sent to the yoursurgery.com site, who knows if they will even read it. it feels pretty good to have sent it though.

~~~~~ I was wondering if it wouldn't be appropriate to list adhesions as a risk associated with surgery. Adhesions not only can cause a great deal of pain, they also can interfere with other bodily functions. And, they are relatively common but not many people seem to know about them until they have real problems from them. The International Adhesions Society(http://www.adhesions.org) has some useful information -- maybe even a link to that site would be a good idea. If people know about adhesions before they undergo surgery (for non-life threatening procedures, e.g.), they can take a more pro-active role in their surgical procedures and their aftermath. Feel free to contact me if I can be of any help -- I am not an expert but an adhesions sufferer who had a hysterectomy in Oct. 99. Thank you, Lynda G. Montgomery. P.S.
