I don't know if an operation helps anybody, but well, I guess that's not true its helps some people. And its helped me. I'd be dead probably if they hadn't operated, so there's no cut and dried answer. Just be sure you know why you are being operated on and try to have it laproscopically. You know, I say the same stuff so much, I fear I'm becoming boring and giving people advice who don't need it. Anyway, lots of love winging it's way to you, Sally
P.S. I'm not a doctor, just someone suffering from adhesions with some of my own opinions based on what I've seen and heard.
