Flick, Men are more than welcome here. I believe most of the people who are on here are women, but it's because women have hysterectomizes, c-sections, etc.,etc., that men don't have thus they have more adhesion problems. My GB surgery was done laporoscopically, too. It is possible to get adhesions from this type of surgery. I know exactly how you feel about the GB surgery ruining your life. I try to do as many normal things as I can do each day, most people don't even realize what I'm going through. They think because I can walk & talk that I'm healthy & should be working. I wish you luck in whatever you decide to do. Keep in touch with us here, I'm especially interested in your results since we seem to have similar adhesion pain.
