Are you sure that you cannot find a surgeon that can perform your surgery laparoscopically? Perhaps you should seek a second opinion regarding your surgery. Is there any reason why he has given you as to why he must cut you open? Have you consulted Dr. Wiseman to see if there are any qualified surgeons in your area that could perform this surgery laparoscopically? The chances of getting more adhesions are greatly increased by having a laparotomy (cut open).
If you keep your scheduled surgery, we will keep you in our hearts and prayers.
