>Hi Beth...I'd like to thank you and Mary for welcoming me to the board. Thank you also for your concern on my upcoming surgery. I saw the pics taken when I had my lap done and I am a mess. My uterus is adhered to my abdominal wall, my right ovary is adhered and partially wrapped around my bowel and the left ovary where all the pain is he couldn't even find it. It was really a shock to see what has happened inside of me. As far as having the surgery right now I think it needs to be done. It won't be done until sometime after Easter break so I have time to really think about it. Again thank you so much for your concern it means alot to me. I also want to make a comment on the lack of information there is out there regarding adhesions and I am so glad to have come across the International Adhesions Society............Debbie >Hi Debbie and Welcome > >I also had the same experience with a Lap.
