Hi Tracy, You're in the right place to find people who understand what you are going through. Have you had a definite adhesion diagnosis?

Do your doctors agree the cause of your obstructions are adhesion related? Are your surgeons knowledgeable about surgical techniques to avoid further injuries and growth of adhesions? And, lastly, have you considered, or is it possible for you to see an ADR surgical specialist? If so, some of the others will be able to give you the contact information. I was a 10+ year sufferer and went to Germany with Dr. Kruschinski last June and so far I am a lot better off than I was a year ago. I'm alive and actually want to be, and that is a definite improvement.

Are you in pain? If so, what are your doctors offering you to help with that?

Hi,

I just found this message board and wanted to introduce myself and tell you how excited I am to have found a group that can understand the ordeal I've dealt with over the past few years!

I dealt with infertility issues before this that is most likely the cause of these adhesion's....between ovarian cyst's, ectopic pregnancies & numerous surgeries to repair my damaged fallopian tubes I have endured 9 laparotomies.

So here I am today dealing with pain from adhesion's and to top that off I've had 3 bowel obstructions in the past 18 months. I've been in and out of the hospital more times then I can even count over the past 2 years....bowel obstructions, colon infections, diverticulitis.....It just seems endless!!

I'd love to talk with others that are on this rollercoaster as well!!!

Tracy
