Dear Sally, In response to your survey... On January 29, I had a laparotomy, which ended up as a TAH, which left me with the right ovary, only. Also, I had adhesions cut from around the bowel, and she placed "Interceed" as a barrier. I had pain before surgery (was diagnosed with endo, and adhesions.) I never have had any pain relief. I have pain, which worsens with bowel movements, problems moving bowels, and I just hurt all the time. I obtained copies of the surgical report, as well as the pathology report. There was no cancer, no pre-cancer, and the left ovary, tube, and cervix were unremarkable. Only showed a few tiny fibroids were seen. In other words, there was NO REASON to do what she did. Her name is Barbara Wiseman, from Pa. I don't think I had replied to you before. Hope all is soon going better for you. Millie
