Hi Dawn, I am sorry that you are having another surgery :( This is now the
2nd time I have heard on this site about women having ovarian tissue
remnants. I was told the same thing was on my left side after I had an Ultra
Sound. When I went to Germany in 2005 for surgery with Dr. Kruschinski, I
had a meeting with him before my surgery to go over my records. I told him
what the Dr's. here said about having leftover ovarian tissue with a cyst on
it. He said no, that isn't so.
I was a bit shocked, and he said he would explain more after surgery. When
he showed me the pics from adheliosis, he explained it was an adhesion water
blister and he removed it. I'm not saying that is what you have, I just
wanted to share what I had. When you see your Dr. for pre-op, or a nurse, go
over your fears with them. Maybe something can be done to keep you more
comfortable coming out of the anesthetic? When I went to court for my
disabilty hearing, my attorney said the one thing that he felt made the
difference was that I told a Dr. that I just want to be well, that I want to
go back to work. I was blessed with a very knowlegeble attorney too. I also
have other health issues not just adhesions. Best of luck to you. I hope
that they can get it all cleaned up for you and not have to give you a
colostomy bag. I hope that your court date will also be in your favor. Take
Care, Cheryl
