I honestly believe your adhesions are back, from my experience I just had surgery in Germany, Dr.K. uses spray gel after cutting out all the adhesions.This ensures there is no way that adhesions can attach to anything again.Adhesions can start to grow immediatly after we are closed up, if there is no barrier used they start attaching right away, and to anything.This is the problem with Canada and the U.S., they have no barrier method, and this is why we go back in again and again and again to have them removed, and each tiome they go in more adhesions start.They cut out the problem ones, and new ones start...it is a never ending cycle......In Germany with the Spray gel applied, Dr.K. goes back in a week later, for a complete check to ensure no adhesions have started, and from all the ladies, myself included that I have spoke to, that have gone over, no adhesions at all, started again.NONE!!! So until the U.S. and Canada start using Spray Gel or some other barrier method, thousands of poor women are going to have to go back in over and over again to have them cut out, only to start again.......and losing body parts along the way....I was told that I would have to have my intestine removed for my pain to stop, and thank god I did not follow thru with that and have a bag the rest of my life !!!! I took my health and my body into my own hands and went to Germany and am now living pain free!!!!! and not one nasty adhesion growing inside of me!!!! Bonnie
