Dear David, This is Shawna, I think I was the one who talked with you
one other time about adhesions in that area. I too, have horrible
problems with adhesions in liver area, stomach where the adhesions grow,
attach to liver(I have had removed 3 times from those 2 areas). The
liver enzymes will come bk normal and will not enlarge to my knowledge.
As so far I also have not had abnormal tests in those areas. Yes, my
friend, it definatly RULES ones life. It is very common to have more
difficulty after bm as the twisting and pulling effect is entirely
inflammed, so the key is to help keep the inflammation down. If you
have more questions i'd be more than happy to talk to you --sincerely
