Hi again,
I am also Emailing David Weisman about this. Has anyone out there had
surgery in Canada, with use of the new Gel spray? We may hit a dead end
here, and are looking at our options elsewhere. I know about Germany.
We're giving the Doctors here until after the holidays to figure out
what their going to do with me. I am also in the process of a second
opinion with the surgeon and a new Gi doc. I'm doing the research now,
because I'm not sure anyone here wants to deal with the adhessions. I
do have a stricture in the colon that needs to be dealt with, so It
would be nice if it was someone that could do both. I'm also contacting
the company that makes the "spray" to see where I could go, or if it
will be in the US soon. This is something I feel like I really need to
be on top of, because I am losing weight and the Docs are talking
feeding tubes. I've been only drinking for about 5 weeks due to the
incredable pain. Fortunately I am otherwise healthy and have a "spare
tire". I'm refusing to give in on this. My husband and I both feel
that this could be better. I've been in the ER 6 times in the last
month, mainly with dehydration, N/V etc. It's the typical thing they
don't think I should be so sick. Anyway Thanks!
Marlene

I'm new to this sight and it's been amazing to me how much
trouble adhessions can be. I've been a nurse for 20 years
now, and have even been an Or nurse and see adhessions
first hand. I never realized that they could cause so
much pain untill I started having major problems in
the last year or so. I
