Dear Kris, please read what Helen Dynda sends and has sent in the past (http://www.adhesions.org) There is a realm of information on that site. Most of us try to find a doctor who will do laproscopic surgery as it is much less invasive to the body. If you need referrals to other Doctors please let the board know right away and someone will help you. Keep your chin up, Love, Sally
