Dear Faith,
My name is Lisa an if I can offer you any advice please see if you are able to see one of the general surgeons that pull up under the adhesions web sit for a consult before surgery I don't know what state or where you are writing from but I have just went to see Dr. Redan and what a difference !!
I live in Florida and have been debating on going out of state to see a specialist because I have had to learn the hard way if you don't see the right doctor you will have surgery after surgery and may relive some pain but it will always return until someone with the right knowledge and experience is found.
I also have seen so many specialist I started to lose hope one of them even told me if they get rid of the adhesion it will probably just come back in the further talk about giving you no hope. I have under went 5 surgeries and it started in my 20's and after my 3rd surgery I had no pain for 9yrs so I know it is possible to live pain free please d on't make the mistake I have made and assume you Dr. is good enough see the specialist there are 3 of them listed and then make a decision.
Best of Luck
Lisa
