I took it years ago AFTER my lysis of adhesions. The results of that laparascopy were that I felt like I had IBS, bowel problems remained from my damaged intestines..... so the levsin really helped. I don't know how it will work before the sugery but I figure its worth a shot....... I plan to talk to my doctor when I see her next week (I'm also waiting for a possible surgery because I believe mine are acting up again).
God Bless! Amy
