Kimmi, I am so sorry to hear how you are suffering. I have had 7
abdominal surgeries and was at my wits end too. My surgeon also told me
that he wouldn't do any more surgery until I had another bowel
obstruction. I left his office in tears. Surgery is not something that
I wantd to go through with again but I wanted my life back, even for a
couple of months. Through this forum my family and I learned of the
adhesion specialists in Scranton, PA. I was recently hospitalized,
tested to death, had consultations with GI specialists and was getting
nowhere. All the Drs. said it was the adhesions but they didn't want
to perform the surgery.(I must say my primary care doc made sure I had
pain relief). My dear sweet hubby contacted Dr. Redan via e-mail and
he wrote back that he was sure they could help me! We gathered all of my
medical records and mailed them there. I am scheduled for surgery Oct.
30th. Please, if you are not happy with the general surgeon, find
another one. Is there any way you could check out Scranton,PA? It is
your health and sometimes you have to fight hard to get the care you
deserve. Do not give up! Friends who stick together, SheryMarie
