Hi Phil,
I have SBS-short bowel syndrome after having a few surgeries and the
adhesions gotten worse until I had the sbs and I have been adhesions
free so far or I should say I haven't had any complications that I have
had in the past related to adhesions. Want to talk? Just email me at
tracigenz@yahoo.com Make sure you put in a topic in it that I will know
what the email is about so I can open it.
