I am sorry your daughter has gone through so much. I wanted to throw out an idea, don't know at all your situation, so take it for what it is worth. My recommendation is to do ALOT of research on GOOD adhesionolysis surgeons, and to travel to whom ever you find is BEST. It is my opinion, that the most optimal solution is to make each (and hopefully your last!) surgery the very best you can get. There are not that many who are excellent in this specific type of surgery, and each surgery carries a risk. Kind of like Las Vegas, it would be wonderful if you could "stack your odds" and get the very best you can get regardless of location? Whatever path you and your family choose, I will pray for your success in finding the surgeon who is "right" for you, and for your daughter's successful surgery. Judy
