Choose your surgeon very, very carefully...

When we have taken the time to learn as much as we can about adhesion-related disease (ARD), our knowledge about ARD will be there to help us make rational decisions, whenever a doctor mentions surgery to us.
A word of caution about pursuing surgery for adhesions:
Not every surgeon has the skill, experience, and patience needed to perform laparoscopic adhesiolysis procedures!! Choose your surgeon very, very carefully!! There are many excellent surgeons throughout the United States; but not all of them have the necessary skills and experience to attempt surgery for adhesions. If you do not feel comfortable with what one surgeon has to offer you - by all means seek a second opinion.
