Thank you for sending the lady from the UK, I will do my best to help her. One of our members was asked to pay £400 for the Spraygel used in her op because the hospital where she had her surgery didnt have it in stock and they had to order it just for her.

Dear Sally,
Where did you get this information about SprayGel - that 6 kits cost $1,200?
Helen
Use enough spray gel

Something seems to be happening that is not good. Spray gel is a miracle. And we have finally found our long awaited medication that will tip the scales our way and we will be pain free, but the doctor has to use enough spray gel in his operation to have an effect. Spray gel is expensive.
That means that you can go to a doctor who is cheaper but used only one spray gel kit and you think you have found a deal. What you have found is more pain for no reason. The doctor must use as much spray gel as it takes to cover all of the required surfaces. No fudging on this one.
Even if you use 6 kits and it costs another $1,200, it's worth it. The object is to get rid of the adhesions, not save money, though that is always nice. So I have said my piece, I have no more to say. Love ya all. Sally
