Liz, from the state of Washington, is currently in Seligenstadt Germany, she had surgery on June 6 2003 with Dr. Daniel Kruschinski. Liz had a four hour surgery and like some of us had many previous surgeries including 3 C-sections, she had severe adhesions. She will be having a second look before her return home. We hope to hear from Liz upon her return concerning her successful surgery. She had the advantage of getting the spraygel and the abdolift not available in the US. We are so happy for you Liz. Carolyn
