Dear Gerry 
Yes.... it is a bit of a worry when you chat to a surgeon who has been around for a long time. I learned that lesson the hard way, my original obgyn was talking about retirement when I had my first daughter (16 yrs ago) and he was still around to deliver my youngest daughter (9yrs old)..... he always said after the c-section...no worries Jo...just a bit of scar tissue, your uterus is fine... (please don't misunderstand...because a surgeon is older DOESN'T'T mean he isn't good....I am generalising)
I didn't know what "scar tissue" - adhesions could do to my body and my life. When I went to the new gyn...I asked him specific questions....but let his evasive answers wash over me....NOW I know I need to ask more SPECIFIC questions, my mistakes....another adhesions sufferers luck...because I KNOW what I did wrong, and can offer advice...BUT, it's purely my own opinion, and the individual needs to make up his/her own mind.
Good luck with the Surgeon Deb, just a hint write a list of questions to ask for your next appointment....questions thought of & left to our memory to remember on the day, have a way of getting lost and unasked!
love & gentle warm hugs
