Hi I was readin your message posted a while back on the adhesion web
site and was wondering about your surgery with Dr. Gerhart. I am 18
years old and from massan have had 23 surgeries for numerous thing
raging from ovarian cysts to brain surgery ( I have fluid on the brain
and a vp shunt in my head that gets infected alot.) I a looking to go to
PA this summerto have my adhesions removed because i want my life back
without havin to ake narcotics every da that dont even hlp mch anymore.
Did u goto PA to have ur surgery? where are you from? how longwee u in
the hospital for your surgry? and do u still need to take pan meds fo
your pain ? was just wondering if u could tell me as much as possible
about this. Thanks in advance.
