Gloria,
GREAT! So glad to hear that! The general surgeons here said that if I
decided to have the surgery, they would use Seprafilm, but it would have
to be laparotomy, and I do not think my body can handle another one! The
last one was awful, I had so problems after suregry, and it scared me! O
am glad seprafilm worked for you , and keeps you pain free!
