Hi, all! I just got home from the hospital after my adhesion surgery yesterday. My surgeon removed adhesions that were wrapped around my gall bladder and my colon on the right side. He also removed adhesions on my left side. Additionally, he found a golf ball size "chocolate cyst" on my right ovary. He called an OB/GYN surgeon in to remove that as well. He wanted him to remove the ovary as well, but the OB/GYN wouldn't do it as I hadn't signed a consent for that. My surgeon said he recommends having that removed after I recover from this surgery. The right sided areas where he removed the adhesions from were the areas I was having most of my pain. I also had pain on my lower right side, which is explained by the ovarian cyst. The surgeon told my mom after the surgery that both the adhesions and the cyst cause extreme pain, Don't we all know that too well??? I'm having pain from the incisions, but it doesn't seem to be the same type that I had before surgery. Time will tell for sure. I thought of all of you who suffer from this and was wishing each of you were there having surgery as well! I'll keep posting to let you know how things progress. I hope you're having a pain tolerant day!
