Hi Mary;
Thanks for the bit of info I read on the
adhesions web site. I am not new here, but
I have had surgery twice with Dr. Redan
while he was in PA. And with Dr. Gerhart.
This last year I have suffered with nausea,
vomiting, bloating, diarrhea, etc. You know
the drill, I am sure. There has been no
"mechanical" obstruction. I went to a new
general surgeon today and he seems to think
that these other doctor's )not necessarily
the ones in PA) that have operated on me don't
thoroughly look at my intestines to see if
there are any adhesions attached to my bowel.
I am scheduled for surgery next Thursday, Jan
20. Where about in Maryland are you located? I
was going to a GI Doctor @ John's Hopkins in
Baltimore, but he wasn't doing anything for me.
I live in Northern Virginia. What type of
surgery did you have, and what makes you feel
as though it's successful so far? What type
of surgeon did you go to, if you don't mind
my asking?
Hope to hear from you, my story is also
on the adhesions quilt. Under, Karen Carter.
Thanks,
In friendship
Karen Carter
