Dear Julie:

I have only had one surgery to resect my colon. I nearly died from the peritonitis I developed as a result of the ruptured colon which went undiagnosed for 7 hours while I waited in the ER. I have avoided having any adhesions removed because I am absolutely scared to go under the knife again.
