> Yes, I have had 4 surgeries elsewhere involving adhesions(which I've

> Am I looking for sympathy, response or supporters?...No, just wanted to

> Am I bashing or putting anyone down?.....No, that is and was not my

> I respect everyone's individual opinions and choices.
> Will I keep debating?...no.
> I am sure the site will get back to normal for everyone.

> Dr. Weissman I am very sorry for causing a problem on your site.
