Hi everyone, I am currently at home recovering from my most recent lap
surgery 7/10. I found this web site while looking for answers and
feeling very depressed. The dr's were very encouraged they had found my
colon wrapped around my uterus and numerous other adhesions on the back
side of my uterus. They said they were able to remove and they placed
an adhesion product like interceed on the back side. However, it's been
a week out and i'm still in a great deal of pain. I can't tell if this
is from the surgery or if the adhesions are back. I'm feeling very
bloated and sore. I wonder if any one else out there has had a similiar
experience? I am so worried they are back. I have been living in severe
pain for several months now. I really don't want to live on painkillers
anymore. I really thought this would fix me. This all started last
year when i had a lap done in 3/02. I had removal of 2 bilateral
ovarian dermoid cysts, one on each right and left ovary. Both of which
were rather big. The dr says that the contents of the dermoid cysts are
very caustic and seeded my whole abdominal cavity with a big time
inflammatory reaction. I'm 36 and would like to start a family but
would also like to live pain free. We are going to try IVF. Both my
tubes are blocked from massive adhesions. I only have a small amount of
ovarian tissue because of the removal of those ovarian dermoid cysts. My
uterus looks great!!! one good piece of news. Right now, I guess I am
very depressed. I really need a boost of good energy. I truely believe
God will see me thru this. I ask for prayers from all and any comments
about how to make it thru each and every day while living with this.
Thanks, Feeling Down
