Thank you Eileen for the nice note. Melissa had surgery with Dr. Cook in
California.
http://www.drcook.com .He is a very caring individual with an incredible staff. The
hospital
he works out of is superb! He did do an extensive surgery on Melissa, as
anyone viewing
the video can see. I have 9 pages of operative reports. The only problem I
can see with
having more surgeries is the adhesion problem. Dr. Cook did place the guaze
type barrier inside,
but if you read testimonies on this site, that is not foolproof. The
SprayGel, available
right now only in Germany and Australia seems to be the most effective at
stopping adhesions.
I will forward a note from the doctor in Germany. He contacted me after I
sent him Melissa's
report. I have not met him, but there are others on this board that could
tell you about him.
Best wishes!
Karen

Dear Kann, Thank you for your reply. I'm so sorry that your daughter
has this terrible condition, I imagine how you must feel. Is there a
doctor you know in Germany or California? Please give me more
information. I do sleep in a water bed and it does help. I also think
I have adhesions in the rectum area. The pain wakes me up every night.
I can't eat sold food. It's a terrible pain! I have an appointment with
the surgeon today, the one that did the surgery last February. Your
daughter is in my prayers. Please keep in touch. God bless. Eileen
