Tammie,
I understand your point. I know very well that
surgery causes adhesions. On the other hand...
after dealing with this for the past 10 years,
I know what works for me. When I have a lap I
am usually better for a little while.
More importnant than that is that I can go
off my medications. I am currently on very
high doses of narcotics. After a lap I can
go off the narcatics & start over again. I
know many people do not agree with my
thinking, but I would rather have a month
or 2 completely pain free, or sometimes I
have been lucky enough to have 6 months
off meds. I am also hoping that one day
the gels & stuff will help stop the adhesions
from growing.
I honestly dont know what I would have done
at the very begining if I knew what I know
now. But what I do now, & the surgeries I
decide to have, are based on my knowledge
& what I know about my body. I just really
hope that this time around I do not need to
spend 3 days in the hospital like I did last
time. The only reason I was kept in the
hospital is because I was on such high doses
of pain meds BEFORE the lap, I needed a
morphine drip to relieve the pain after the
lap. I hope I never get so bad again that
I need to stay in the hospital for pain meds.
