and to all who want to start a world wide epidemic of adhesions sufferers and let the world know what we go through then i will do what ever i can to help... what a great idea you had for sure.. lets all go for it.. where do we send our pix and story?? this is what we need to be heard and be taken care of through our insurance compainies.. also wanted to ask if insurance only pays about 2500 for procedure then what does doctor reich or reydan charge for their service and what would be our out of pocket cost to go their to have surgery... without fighting the insurance company... i am the type who would fight them with both barrels loaded but just wanted to know what the doctors expect for payment before the surgery..?? thanks again nancy in NH
