Hi Sherry, I'm so sorry your surgeon is putting you threw these test. I feel very lucky. It's only because I have been with my surgeon for some time now, and he "knows" what's inside therefore he will not put me or my pocketbook threw it. How long have you been with this doctor? I flat "refuse" to go threw all those test now. I had them before "every" surgery for a long time "UNTIL" is said "no more". I would take my results with me and show that nothing was there before but adhesions. Then I would "remind" him of the pictures of the adhesions and that's all it would take. Now the only test I will take is the colon scope and Endoscopy, and that's only because I have had polyps and stomach ulcers in the past! Take to your surgeon "again". Call him! Tell him what you want and don't want. If he won't understand what your trying to say, find another surgeon! If you can't let us know and "we" will help you find one!
"Make" these doctors work for YOU! Yes they do have to cover their behinds, but once you get the proof, then it's your game!
Remember that we are here for you, and there are a few "good" doctors out there that really do want to help us. Their just really hard to find Anything we can do to help is just a "click" away. Take care, Kat....Houston, TX
