Welcome dearest Manda, This is the right place, every time you go under any pelvic surgery you are at risk for adhesions. Adhesions form radipidly in the traumatized area, they say from 3-7 days. There is literatue where docs hav reported seeing adhesion growth during particularly long procedures. There are lots of places for endo to hide and not every surgeaon is aware of these areas or types of lesions. Now , here comes your job, the start of your education and self advocation. A doctor with a busy practice cannot possibly keep abreast of all that is going on in the world of medicine. Please go thru this site with a fine tooth comb. Look at the writings of Dr. Wiseman. Print some stuff out to show your doc. Punch in your symptoms in the message board archives and see who has similar. Once you start to educate yourself about what is happening to you, you and your doctor can work as a team to try to figure the best course of action for you. Please start before your next lap. Others here will answer you as well. Lots of us have endo like you. Please know you are not alone, we are all here for you. Much love, Dawn
