Sorry I took so long to reply, but I would like tell you that it was probably the gall bladder surgery in January that occasioned the recurrence of the adhesions. I'm having lysis surgery the end of June with an expected 2nd look a week later to clean out the cobwebby early adhesions. Yes, adhesions begin immediately after surgery.
Since your doctor told you that she didn't think the adhesions were as bad as she thought they would be, I feel you should look for a doctor who knows that it only takes one or two in the wrong places. Also, maybe you need a doctor whose techinique avoids immediate recurrence of the adhesions.
Good Luck
