Hi Jennifer,

??????? Are you in the Pennsylvania area? I was just wondering if the doctor they gave you the name of is mine. I also have heard many great things about Celebration Clinic. Good luck.

I called the Celebration Clinic in Florida first to check to see if they took my insurance.? I then sent them all my records and they were very quick and organized in the review process.? They called to tell me they would accept me but then told me they did not take Humana insurance.? They recommended another doctor who does take the insurance in PA.? I'm still waiting to hear from them.? They definately seem to have it together at the Celebration Clinic.? The process of review and acceptance only took maybe three days. Jennifer

Can anyone tell me if they have been to the Celebration Clinic in Florida?? And, if you have is there anything they offer that can help ?? exactly what do they do there?? I live in Michigan but am willing to go to florida to see them if they can help, but I would like to get alittle more information first, so if someone could share the experience that would be very helpful?

I had my 27th obstuction in May 2006 which again ended in open surgical
repair.? They did use seprafilm.? I can't say how well it has or hasn't
worked, as I haven't had any obstruction now for 14months, yet i suffer
regularly from debilitating abdominal spasms and pain.? If you HAVE to have
surgery for an obstruction, then it doesn't hurt to put the seprafilm
inside.? But I wouldn't recommend ever having surgery just for the
adhesions.? I used to think that was the answer to my pain, when in fact the
only thing it did was create more adhesions, led to more obstructions and I
have more pain and problems now than ever before.? My first obstruction was
in 1990.? I' ve had 26 more since.? I've had a total of 34 surgical
procedures over the past 17 years.? It rough..I know how all of you feel.?
I've been on disability now since 2003...finally got approved SSD in 2005.?
I'm actually hoping to attempt a part time job soon ! and am praying my
health and intestines work with me to perhaps start moving towards getting
my life back.? You couldn't pay me to have surgery to remove adhesions ever
again, unless I was obstructed and my life was in danger.
I have fabulous doctors here in Chicago if anyone ever needs a
recommendation.
?
Take care all.
