I too am sorry to hear about your pain, I had last surgery in Sept 98.
and the gyn did a laparotomy, two of them in 5 months, and I came home a
week after surgery, and was laying in my bed 10 days after surgery, and
I said to my husband I feel the pulling and tearing pain already! I
thought it was too early to tell, but as I see now it wasn't, and that
was alot of surgery in 5 months. I had laparptomy in April 98, a
laparoscopy in August 98, that one failed, they could not get in pelvis,
and laparotomy in Sept. I am too afraid to go in again! I do think it
will happen though I just do not know when. And if I do have suregry
again, I KNOW it will be the LAST time!! Pain free days to all you!
Love,
Toni
