That is what happened to me, the old dr I had years ago did a tubal
ligation and he did it through a large vertical incision, and two years
later he put them back together, which was a 6 hour operation. Since
then is when I went through infertility with my new husband, and I got
pregnat, but miscarried three times, all from adhesions. That is why I
think so much of my gyn now. he did my sister's surgery Wednesday. he
is great, I wish I would have known him back them, but he was too young,
he is my age, and his practice is huge. Take care and please do not
give up, I was told the same thing, there is only one surgeon that my
gyn found that was willing to touch me too, and he told the gyn it WILL
get worse, so at least there are a few out there who understand.
