Kristie,
I'm so sorry that is how you feel. Please forgive us our excitment!! It
all was never intended to be a sarcastic infomercial, or to make anyone
feel bad. Far from it!! It is all excitement for finally winning the
battle against adhesions. We all wish this for everyone, and if you
can't make it to Germany,believe me we do understand, we want you to see
it as HOPE for your future, there is something that can make you
adhesion free! It will be a long while before it is approved here, and
then you will need to find a surgeon that has the ability and knowledge
needed to preform it correctly, and then there is the AbdoLift... But
you see that is HOPE, and for so many that's all they have, but it's so
important!! Many come to the IAS to find hope when all feels so lost, I
was one of them. We all remember being at "point A", that is something
I know I won't forget, ever... But you see for us that have dealt with
this, for so long there was never a "point B", and now there is!! We're
all excited, we mean no harm.
This is certainly the place to come and vent, cry, find answers and ALOT
of information! That is where it starts, knowledge, so you can make the
right decisions for you and your health. We are here to help, that is
why we remain part of this board even though we no longer suffer from
adhesion pain, in many instances it has saved lives, mine included,
there is hope we are here to help you, anytime! So please forgive us we
did not want you to feel uncomfortable. But by all means stay here and
learn, make new friends that understand where you are coming from!!
Okay?
Lisa
