I can't advise you but I can have a lot of sympathy for you. Everything that
you said is just like me. I just had my 15th surgery for the removal of
adhesions May 2002 and at that time they also removed 111 inches of my
intestine and part ofmy colon and now me reg MD is telling me that he thinks
they will have to remove the entire colon now. My pain is worse than
anything that I could have ever imagined. I have gotten worse everyday since
coming home from the hospital on June 04, 2002. I have anywhere from 25-30
bowel movements a day and can't go anywhere because I can't get away from the
restroom. I can't eat because of pain, vomiting and nausea. I am so tired
of having to search and search for a Doc that actually cares whether I live
or die. I'm not trying to sound like I'm worse off than you, I just wanted
you to know that I understand exactly what your going through. I haven't
slep a full night in so long that I can't remember because the pain is so bad
and the pain in the belly button you were talking about is horrible, I don't
have a belly button anymore they cut mine out about 4 years ago because I got
staph infection after one of my surgeries and they had to cut out my entire
incision and let it heal from the inside out. Please E-mail me here or
personally at Sugarbear110263@aol.com anytime that you like. I don't have
much to offer you but I have big shoulders and greaat ears. If you are on

will be in my prayers and thoughts. Hugs, Bobbi
