Trust your instincts & don't let Doctors intimidate you. I know it's easier said than done, and unfortuneatly I made many mistakes before I learned that myself.

I have made MANY good friends here, and it is a great comfort to post a message here that you are feeling like this or your pain is that. Just remember that we too have good days & bad, so sometimes it will be different people responding to your post, while the people who usually respond are having a break due to pain or other activities.

Dear Jo
Thanks so much for the encouragement. It is tough to talk to a doctor
who says he taught my primary doctor and has been doing lapro surgery
since the '60's. I have nothing against age. He seems nice and full of
experience BUT I worry he's not up to date on the new advances in
adhesion
therapy--little that there is.
But I am going to ask questions.
Thanks again
