Has anyone applied & been accepted by any of these
studies? I called about the one in Sandy, Utah but was
told it was only on lower abdominal adhesions. I've
contacted Dr. Lyons on this second study & I'm waiting
for a phone consultation with him. I don't know if my
insurance co. will pay for this surgery because it's
out of state, but I'm going to call tomorrow & find
out. Dr. Lyons said their are 500 people on the
waiting list to have surgery in Germany with Spraygel.
I'm scheduled to have "Diagnostic Laparoscopy with
Lysis of Adhesions" on Mon. July 29 in Phoenix, AZ,
but the surgeon does not use any barriers but I can't
stay on disability unless I have this surgery! I'm
hoping by some miracle my insurance will cover the
clinical study surgery if I'm accepted. I'd like to
hear from anyone about the clinical studies if they
did or will participate in them? I've never been to
the South, I was born & raised here in AZ, but I've
never been to Germany, either! If I have to have
surgery I'd rather take my changes that I might get
Spraygel instead of knowing I won't get anything.
Take Care,
Rita in AZ
