Dear Evetta,

It is nice to read you being so positive! :-) I hope everything works out for you. Just remember not to over do things because you feel better than you expected...even though it is tiny incisions... there was still a BIG job done in that four hours!

love & warm gentle Hugs, Jo http://www.bombobeach.com

>Hi everyone. I had my lysis surgery this morning, and I feel worst then I felt before I went in. This will be a short letter. I just wanted to let others know that I was so scared to have this surgery, but afterwards when I had awaken my doctor told me that i had adhesions from the top of my stomach all the way down. It took over 4 hours for the surgery, but I am so thankful that a large amount of my pain will be gone.
