The doctor that discovered my problem in 1988 is just tired of treating me I feel. He has started suggesting pain management, which I have done before with no relief. He stated that I need to find a doctor that would remove the adhesions and do a tummy tuck at the same time. My stomach has some scars of course, but the surgery in 2004 really did it. After removing the adhesions by laproscope (which he had never done--incisions were made in the previous surgeries), I was very ill and had to stay in the hospital 2 weeks, ( there was no movement in my bowel), they started discussing surgery again, but I got very depressed and after finally having a bm and eating a little, I was allowed to go home for a weekend visit. However, I stayed home until after Thanksgiving. I was able to eat very little and could not keep that down. I finally ended up in the ER. They did an x-ray and discovered I had an obstruction. I was admitted. My old doctor had to call in another surgeon. He removed the obstruction two days later and I ended up in ICU for 3 Days, afterwhich another 2 wk hospital stay. A horrific scar was left due to this surgery. So my stomach basically looks awful. Having to look at my disfigured stomach every day and living with the pain right now is overwhelming. Help!
