I know how you feel. I am a newer member to the forum. I am scheduling with Drs. R and R in December. Even though I have hope this surger will work, I am not happy about having to go through another operation. I just had one in July and wonder how long it will take to recover from this one.
Please feel free to send your or reports to the forum or to my email. I think it will help you to share the information. I was shocked when I saw how bad my "insides" were too and my family is sympathetic but doesn't completely understand how awful it is to hear how bad everything is stuck together.
Take care,
