Robin please be sure to check this doc out. Whenever I hear 'I've done this
100s of times", I get very nerveous. My surgeon said that to me and he had
an excellent reputation, but I had every complication in the book as far as
colon surgery goes. PLEASE check him out thoroughly before you have the
surgery.

Dear All
I went yesterday to see an OB/GYN Dr/Surgeon that I saw about a month
ago. He is willing to do surgery for me. He will open me up, remove
all adhesions & use a barrier everywhere he can. He has done this
surgery "100's of times". He has done this on many cancer patients with
very good results. He would do it laprascopic, but, he wants to use the
barrier. He is very optomistic that this will be the last surgery I
need. But, is willing to do surgery again, if the pain becomes
unbearable again. He also thinks that treating adhesions is not just
about surgery. He wants to get me into counceling, physical theraphy &
holistic care. If my insurance company approves the procedure, I will
have surgery on August 15th.
Happy Birthday Lesa!
love
