Dear Jeanne, You sound like me! I have had 15 surguries for adhesions so far. My last sugury the doctor thought oh maybe an hour, all my pre-op tests were showing no problem. The surgury lasted 12 and a half hours. It was two years ago and now I need another but no one will touch me they say my stomach is like a mass of concrete. So I wait for a new method to deal with adhesions or die. You are not crazy I have heard all the same songs please stay in touch, I will pray for you to find help.
