Yes as you become more familiar with the board, you will discover that many of us have had repeated surgery to remove adhesions and pain!
I have made the decision NOT to have any more surgery at this time unless my pain becomes unbearable, or I suffer from a bowel blockage...or whatever!
I encourage you to read the quilt, the link is at the top of this page, add your story & start reading some of ours, there is a lot of information and experience in evidence in these stories.
Love, hugs & cheers Jo (Australia)
