Hi Linda, don't be so upset!!!! This was your lucky day!!!!!! If that surgeon treated you like that I don't think that he is someone that you would want to operate on you. Do you have insurance, if you do, then you must get in touch with one of the three adhesion specialists that we know about. If you don't have insurance, maybe you should look at contacting Dr. Korell in Germany. It costs about $6,000.00 US to make the trip to Dr. Korell and that includes everything including accommodations in the Nurse's residence on the hospital grounds. If you need more information, please write me. I have been there and done that to everything that you are going through, I was told by one doctor that I was creating the pain because I liked to have pain. Can you believe that!!!! I went to Germany and DR. Korell was able to find why I couldn't breathe, or lie down, or work, etc etc. Please stay away from the kind of doctors that you have just seen, they will only make your pain worse if they operate on you. My e-mail is mpomroy@home.com

Hugs,

Mary in Canada

HI... If I can write this between sobs, I'm so upset!

I just returned from the Surgeon's office, who nearly laughed me out of his office...he looks right in my eyes and said..."Adhesions don't cause bowel obstructions or digestive problems". He also claimed the records faxed to him said nothing about adhesions. The surgeon who found them a year ago, had faxed all her records to him.

HIS solution is to get me an appointment with a gastro-doctor, for more tests. He feels I have IBS...blah, blah, blah. Tests I've had repeatedly in the last few years, to be more specific.

SO I come home, beside myself, and call my surgeon back home who found the adhesions last year. I tell her nurse my story. She pulls up my files..and reads to me from them... "EXTENSIVE small intestinal adhesions causeing partical bowel obstructions".

Plain as day, in black and white!! in her surgical notes! I ask, PLEASE, can you send ME those files, she said YES!

This doctor was cold, rude, and arrogant! I felt like a fool!

I can't eat, I can't work, my business is going under...I'm absolutely floored as to what to do...except keep looking for a doctor who will listen.

I'll write more when I'm not so upset! Linda Beebe
