The only problem is that the adhesions came right back. I basically had no pain free days, because by the time the operation pain was gone, the adhesion pain had started. You might want to look into spray gel. I'm going to either Australia or Germany and make use of spray gel where it is allowed. It is not yet allowed in this country. Soon I hope, but not before your operation.
Some people have had the surgery with them and their adhesions have not come back. You did not say, but have you had previous operations and did the adhesions come back? If you have not had a previous operation you may be amongst those whom Dr. Gerhart and Redan can help, but if you keep having recurring adhesions, well, that's a problem. These doctors are good but they are not magicians. Love, Sally
