hello iam new here. my name is theresa i am in horrific pain and it is
so hard to deal with. it all started with endometriosis and then had to
have gallbladder out then came the adhesions and bowel obstructions. i
would appreciate some good advice. my email is tandt321@hotmail.com. i
feel like someone is butchering my belly i had to have total
hysterectomy at 22 i am now 30 and in so much pain first adhesion
surgery in97 then another in99 and now the pain is even worse. i went
to a gyn and he told me to seek couseling. i would love to see dr.
redan he even has my records but cannot travel cause hubby is on
dialysis. i go see a new general surgeon thurs i just need someone to
talk to besides family and friends saying i am nuts and like surgeries.
