I have only had 3 surgeries for adhesions. I have also had 3 c-sections & a hysterectomy. So, I have had a total of 7 surgeries, & surgeons are still hesitant about doing surgery on me again. I dont know how many surgeries are too many, but I think, if surgery will help, then you should have what ever it takes. Robin
