Subject: Surgery on May 8th
> Hi to all my "old" friends here on the board. I haven't really written
> too much lately, however, I am scheduled for surgery on May 8th for a
> bladder suspension surgery, as well as anterior and posterior pelvic
> floor surgery. I am not familiar with this type of surgery, nor am I
> familiar if this may cause adhesions. I have some discomfort in the low
> back and also where my ovaries "used" to reside. It feels as though
> they are being ripped out some times. I am on no pain meds, and I don't
> wish to be. I had my last adhesiolysis done in PA with Dr.'s Gerhart
> and Redan, a year ago March and have very little residual pain.
>
> I guess my fear is that the adhesions will return and I will have to
> once again be on pain meds. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated,
> also feedback on if adhesions can form in this area.

> God Bless you all;
> Chrissy, you are a "pink" sweetheart, so get well. And the rest of you
> Gals and Guys get well also.
