Adhesion free!!! There is hope.

My wife and I just returned from Germany. We flew from the USA to a
doctor just outside of Frankfurt. My wife had what the doctor
considered to be "severe" adhesions as a result of a botched appendix
surgery in 2004. She had two surgeries. The first actually removed all
the adhesions and took about 4 hours to complete. Four small incisions
were made on her belly to allow for the insertion of a camera and
operating instruments. The second surgery conducted 7 days after the
first was a camera check to be sure the adhesions had not
returned..............none of them had grown back!!
The surgery was not cheap, about 15,000 dollars and required us to be
out of the country for almost three weeks, this was difficult and
expensive. The language barrier we found to be a major problem too
altho there are some english speaking staff. The travel was difficult
too, 11 hours flying time going and 17 hours returning.
The result? Well, she's adhesion free. Her breathing has improved
considerably and her bowel movements are returning to normal. She is
still taking pain meds but we are hopeful that with time these too can
be reduced and/or eliminated. It's important to realize that many
patients are experiencing health problems/pains as a result of issues
other than adhesions. The removal of adhesions therefore may or may not
eliminate all of the patients health issues. That being said, adhesions
are not good regardless of any other concerns and are only going to make
things worse, not better.
I would highly recommend that those of you suffering look into surgery
in Germany. Dr. K. has a process and it works! The surgery is gasless
and includes the use of Spraygel, a product that inhibits re-growth of
the adhesions.
Kind regards and best wishes to all of you. I am not frequenting this
board so if you would like to contact us please feel free to do so.
