Thank you so much for the reply. I don't know if I will ever be able to
afford to go to Germany. I know that I need another sugery and will
need it pretty soon. I am headed for a bowel obstruction I think. I
live in constant pain and fear. My surgeon is wonderful to me and is
very unusual. He knows another surgery for me without a good adhesion
barrier is just going to make things worse. He is trying to help me
find a solution. I go see him Thursday and will tell him about Dr
Korell. Will see what he thinks.
