I have had 9 abdominal surgeries including hysterectomy and cystectomy with
urinary diversion. I had a pyloroplasty in May of 2010 during which the
doctor found that the bottom of my stomach had been attached to my
liver....the reason for the pain that I complained about for 4 years. I
woke up from the surgery pain free (other than usual post-op stuff) and was
eating and very active for 5 months. Suddenly one day the pain in the upper
right abdomen started again and has not let up. I have been hospitalized 6
times and all of the GI docs say there is nothing they can do. Last set of
docs said that the problem is probably adhesions but that no one would do
anything about them unless they caused a total bowel obstruction. My life
has fallen apart since mid-October and I can not believe that there is NO
doctor that would be willing to help me with this. My insurance does not
cover outside of Maryland.
