TERESA, I WOULD SAY SUGGEST A SEOND OPINION I HAVE HAD ENDOMETREOSIS AND SEVER ADHESIONS FOR OVER 20 YEARS STARTED AT THE AGE OF 16 AND I AM NOW 39.. I HAVE BEEN TOO LITERALLY TONS OF DRS...AND HAVE HAD 14 MAJOR SURGERIES DUE TO SEVERE ADHESIONS.. AT THE VERY FIRST I HAD ONE DR GO IN LAPROSCOPICLY AND SAID I HAD VERY FEW ADHESIONS I CONTINUED TO BE IN HORRIFIC PAIN AND 2 MONTHS LATER ANOTHER WONDERFUL DR WENT IN NEEDLESS TO SAY I WAS IN SURGERY FOR 7 HOURS AND HE SAID HE DIDNT KNOW HOW I WAS EVEN ALIVE.....................4-5 FEET OF MY BOWELS WAS DEAD STRANGULATED BY ADHESIONS AND A PEICE OF MY COLON WAS PICHED OFF BY THEM THEY WERE ALL OVER MY BOWELS, KIDNEYS, URETERS, BLADDER, SPINE, DIAPHRAM, AND ALOT OF PLACES I WOKE UP WITH TUBES EVERYWHERE AND WAS IN THE HOSPITAL FOR OVER 20 DAYS...SINCE THEN AND DOCTERS SEEING THE REPORTS OTHERS HAVE BEEN IN SEVERAL TIMES AND ALWAYS , ALWAYS I HAVE SEVERE PROBLEMS.................SO INDEED I WOULD CONSIDER A SECOND OPINION,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,I MEAN THIS WAS WITH IN MONTHS OF ONE ANOTHER AND THIS DOCTER SAID HE WAS PROBALLY SCARED TO DO IT BECAUSE IT IS A VERY TIDEOUS AND CAREFUL SURGERY AND ALOT OG DRS ARE AFRAID OF LAW SUITS LIKE PUNCTERING THE BOWELS, AND THINGS LIKE THAT, THATS OUR GOOD OL MEDICAL SYSTEM..... ..............................................UOR HELTH IS IN ALOT OF PEOPLES HANDS THAT WORRIES ME...... .BUT THERE ARE GOOD DRS OUT THERE ITS JUST FINDING ONE ........................YOU ARE THE ONE WHO KNOWS YOUR BODY, PAIN LETS YOU KNOW SOMETHINGS WRONG DONT GIVE UP SWEETIE, YOU MAY CROSS MANY DRS LIKE THIS AND ALOT WILL HAVE DIFFERENT OPIONS MANY ARE RELUCTANT ABOUT ADHESIONS AND IT IS VERY SAD.....

MY HEART IS WITH YOU AND I WISH YOU GOOD LUCK SWEETY REQUEST ALL YOUR MEDICAL RECORDS FROM NOW ON START KEEPING ALL OF THEN SO YOU WILL KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING INSIDE YOUR BODY, AND BY LAW AT YOUR REQUEST THEY HAVE TO GIVE YOU A COPY SOME MAY CHARGE YOU BUT USUSLLY IF YOU REQUEST IT AT THE TIME THEY ARE GOING OVER IT WITH YOU I HAVE FOUND THAT THEY CHARGE NOTHING IN OFFICE BUT IF YOU WAIT AND WANT COPIES AT THE HOSPITAL OR PLACE WHERE YOU HAD YOUR TESTS THEY CHARGE YOU BY THE PAGE,...WHICH IT IS WORTH IT IT HAS HELPED ME ALOT! GOOD LUCK, ANGIE
