If I was in your shoes I would wait to see how the Germany gals do with
the intergel and if it is good news go to Germany! No easy answers huh !
Do you loose more organs each time they go in? That's the part I hate !
Your surgeon has had his chance. I would send my records to several
doctors and see what they have to say. There is some surgeons like R &
R that could have done your last surgery with a scope and not a
laperectomy (3 in. incision) If that is what was done. We really need
to avoid those laperectomies, I here. They cause more adheions. Hang
in there sweety, Love Jaynie
