Helen.. Could you send this dear lady the info on surgery's that you posted so that she may know the implications as well as maybe asking for Intergel use in that lap if they decide to lyse the adhesions? ..looks to be available in Canada at this time, I think! Cant hurt for her to ask..and be prepared.
