Dear Renee:
WHAT a SMALL World this is. I also had surgery done by Dr. Steegee. What a
nightmare to say the least. From day one until the day I never went back to
this man. He has his own protocol and it wasn't in my best interest but in
the interest of the research studies he is performing. In fact months later
we found out that he used me in one of his studies never even telling us.
The surgery that I really needed wasn't done and come to find out it was
because he was only doing certain types of surgery for the research study. I
ended up having to have emergency surgery for a blockage that he chose to
ignore. Find yourself a second opinion and fast. Again what a small world we
live in. God Bless Deb

In 1993 I had what they said was "almost" cervical cancer. 2 separate
procedures were done and I was told they got it all. In 1994, I started
hurting, the pain got worse, pelvic pain, excessive bleeding, etc... In 1995
I had lap. surgery and was told everything was clumped together and my left
ovary in bad shape. In 1996, the pain started again and I finally consented
to a hysterectomy. In 1997, the pain was back. I kept telling myself it
was all in my head. Finally, in 1999 I was sent to the University of NC at
Chapel Hill to see Dr. Steege. He did lap. surgery and cut loose the
adhesions. 2 weeks later I felt wonderful. Eleven months later, the pain
was back. I have been to see Dr Steege several times, have tried PT, seeing
the Digestive Disease Dr. and everything else he suggested. I am still in
pain and its getting worse. I went today for another appt. and told him
several times that I think the adhesions are back. I know this pain and its
the same!! He says he doesnt think the adhesions are back and wants me to
go thru PT again. He said I have "straight back syndrome". I never have
back pain until the adhesions are back. Why wont the dr's listen? What can
I do? I cant keep going like this, but cant get anything done. Can you
please help. Tell me where I need to go (not too far please).
