Hello, my name is Cindy I'am 48 years old, back in 1992 I had a stomach
surgery, which brings me to now. 1992 I had the orgiinal surgery, then
in 94 hada small bowel blockage, which then required surgery, 96 another
small bowel blocage and surgery again, 2000 this past March(14months
ago) another one, and here today 2001 July another one. It gets REALLY
OLD and I live in a small area inwhich sugerons are not the greatest,
after reading how they should clean you out and make sure there is no
blood left, Iam a little concered about that part and feel a little
strange to ask the Dr. Hey, how did you leave my stomache.??? After
reading a few of the letters and facts on adhesions Iam a little worried
about how soon the next will be, and if I am doing anything wrong, or
could I do anything right to help my poor belly out. HELP. Iam at my
end of the line with 5 surgerys, I can't imagine anyone who has been
more, my thoughts are with you.
Please any info. would be helpful.
Cindy
