Dear Rita, Hi, what you write only increases my concern for you. You are needed desparately by two little children and you have no idea what this procedure could do to you. Please, please don't have it until you know more and somehow I have this gut feeling that nobody seems to know. That in itself is a big warning. Maybe you could ask Dr. Wiseman from the http://www.adhesions.org site for more information on it. He seems to know a lot or email dr. Redan in Penn. and see what he thinks. Someone needs to know something. Love and hang on, Sally
