Chriztene,
Hello...I'm right there with you...I have had adhesions
since I was 19...I'm 37. I just had my 10th surgery to
get rid of the things on October 24th. Here's the thing.
I had surgery on December 13th last year...lots of
adhesions in my lower pelvic area...bladder folded in
half, bowels hung up, etc...I began having pain again
at the end of May...so I went to Hershey Medical Center
and had a laproscopy...the doctor found about 12" of
adhesions all across under my ribs, on top of my liver
and gall bladder and they formed a "curtain" all the
way back down..and they grew there in less than 6 months.
I'm seriously considering about taking out a loan for
$13,000 so I can go to EndoGyn in Germany to have the
SprayGel Adhesion Barrier applied...I'm sick of waiting
for our FDA to approve something that would help so many
who are suffering. It's pretty sad that American
Citizens need to go outside of our country to get up
to date medical care.
