I called the office of my Internist on Friday and was told I should contact my gyn/surgeon. I will do so on Monday. I'll give her the benefit of doubt for now that she wasn't that concerned because I wasn't that concerned. I'm very concerned now, so maybe her tone will change.
Meanwhile, I'm going to pursue your suggestion of finding a good lap surgeon with an understanding of adhesion.
Thanks!
