Will barrier method work, if there are no female reproductive organs?

i won't bore everyone with my 4 surgeries, but i'm now left with no female reproductive organs. each time, they found massive adhesions, mainly on the bowel. had to switch drs, since mine told me "i worry too much" and that "adhesions wouldn't cause pain". love my new dr. she spent 45 minutes with me (which is a rarity these days) and now we're trying 200 mg of celebrex each day, which seemed to have been working until this last week. she's like me, surgery is the last option. she'd mentioned that if it were to happen, the film would have to lie on the pelvic floor and probably wouldn't take, since there are no organs to wrap it around. and that it would slide around, each time the intestines moved (which is always). has anyone else had a tah/bso and still has adhesions? what have you been told that your options are?

this site is truly a blessing!

thanks, deb
