So anyone know of a good surgeon in Minnesota?  I just can't do this anymore, right now I just merely exist and if this is the best it gets for me then I'd rather be dead.  I know I could end up even worse but I also know that there is nothing else out there that will help me have any pain free moments. So yes I'd like to find a surgeon who is very skilled in this area and would also try an adhesion barrier on me. With all of my surgeries no one has tried that as of yet. So if anyone knows of any surgeons in Minnesota that are experts in this area I'd appreciate it. Thanks as Always, Wendy

If you do have to have surgery, make sure you go to someone who deals with adhesions on  a regular basis. There are several good docs mentioned on this site that are good. Mine happens to be Dr Gerhart in Pa. I'm a lot better since seeing him 2 years ago.

Good Luck Marlene
