Susan,
I had my gall bladder removed 3/22/00, I've been in
pain the last 2 1/2 years. Immediately after my
surgery the pain was even worse than before, I was so
miserable I couldn't eat as a result I lost 25 lbs.
but the pain did NOT go away! I've been to numerous
Drs., I've had every test there is but they are always
"NORMAL". Nothing has gotten rid of the pain. I'm
scheduled to have surgery (Diagnostic Laparoscopy
W/ Lysis of Adhesions) the end of this month.
Hopefully this will at least confirm I have adhesions
& if I do maybe I can get some pain relief. I've only
had the one surgery but it has been a nightmare. If
this surgery doesn't help & my problem is adhesions,
I'll try to go to Germany where they can use the Spray
Gel.
You can find my story on the adhesion quilt. I wish I
could have given you some hope instead of bad news.
Take Care,
Rita in AZ
