Sarah- I recently had a laparoscopy after having severe abdominal pain
and was told that my uterus was attached to my abdominal wall as well. I
too had a c-section in 2004 and thought that all went well. My surgeon
believes that I am just one of the unlucky people who produce massive
scar tissue. I am planning on having a open procedure in the May/June
timeframe to correct it. The surgeon will just reopen my c-section
incision. She as unable to take any of the scar tissue down during the
laparoscopy. I asked her if it was ok for me to get pregnant and have a
scheduled c-section to correct the problem at that time and she advised
against it. I don't know if any of this well help, but it was
interesting to see someone with a similar situation.
