Polly, What happened after your surgery ... We need prayer with these adhesion nightmares ... I had surgery last Oct. and now all the signs are coming back .... flu like feeling every morning ... horrible spasams in my colon, direara etc.... have you found anything that helps? I live on Donetol I drink it right when the spasms start and it relaxs them but then the next day I am so bruised that I can't function well .... Let me kown how you are doing and what the doctor found in you. Was this your first surgery? What were the chest pains? Lots of blessings Diane
