This time last year a typical post would be "surgery verses no surgery"
We were all waiting for the intergel to be approved by the FDA. We all
thought this could be the answers to our prayers. Everyone was weighing
the choices, have surgery with the risk of more surgery or just learn to
live with the pain. So now there has been so many surgeries ! I don't
know what to think. The amazing R & R gave us alot of hope, now that
wonderful man Dr. Korell. Maybe those girls will have more luck with
the pain being decreased. Then maybe all these kind doctors that are
trying to help us get together and really find a way to stop this from
happening to other surgery victims. And help us. We have to stick
together and keep hoping that something good will happen for all of us.
I am done getting surgery. There is nothing left except my intestines
and bladder and I would like to keep all of them. Inless
**************** in a few years they come up with something with more of
a gauantee. I have been thinking about last year alot so thought I
would share some history with new people to show how opinions can change
in a year. This year we all have new scares. Maybe new adhesions. Last
year we would not get operated on inless it was the last resort. Next
year is a mystery. I see good things ahead with the reconition we are
finally getting. Hang in there and hang around, love Jaynie
