Abdominal Adhesions

Hi! Does anyone know of a specialist in adhesions
located in South Florida? I have mild Crohns, but
have had many surgeries due to small instestine
blockage from adhesions. After the last sugery,
the surgeon said that my intestines were so messed
up that they would probably have to be removed since
he could no longer tell where everything started
and stopped. I was lucky to be transferred to a
teaching hospital in Miami where I was seen by a
Bariatric Surgeon. She changed my diet to puree
only and so far I have not had any more blockages.
I don't have much pain, but am quite restricted due
to the diet. I can live with it if I have to, but
it would be great to find a doctor that was able
to treat the problem, not accommodate it. Any
information would be appreciated.
