Hi Karen -
The surgeon was able to remove all the adhesions that had my liver in
that postion. It has just become habit for any new adhesions to migrate
to that destination. And now it feels like the liver is back in that
position and my personal guess is that I have new adhesions growing from
the raw area of the body wall where the liver was orinially attached.
