My mom has had 4 surgeries for adhesions. Most took place twelve years
ago after a hysterectomy. However, the most recent was in March. Her
surgeon said the adhesions were extensive. After the surgery she went
to his office for follow up visits and stated that her internal incision
was extremely sore. She also was not having normal bowel movements, he
stated that this was all normal. This pattern continued up until
August. In mid August we had to return to the ER because she was having
severe pain in her abdomin and vomitting. They have done every type of
test, scopes, cat-scans, MRi's and can not find an obstruction. No
surgeon wants to do surgery they all say that without proof of an
obstruction it may not be beneficial. However, at this point my mom
knows that there is something ripping or pulling. She describes it as a
pulling, ripping or burning in her abdomin. She is going to be released
from the hospital and sent home on narcotics. They say that there is
nothing else they can do. Can anyone help with a surgeon, we are
desperate at this time and would like a surgeon who is experienced in
either the barrier or gel as an possibility.
