How long before you quit swelling? I am no longer having the pain I had, but the swelling is really getting to me mainly because I feel so much better I am becoming impatient (LOL).

Dr. Semertzides is such a sweet man, and really listened to me too. I nearly cried at our first visit because he was the first doctor who really took me serious and really seemed to care. He was very thorough, and answered every question we had and encouraged us to ask more. My hubby was even impressed and that is hard to do.

It is nice to hear from someone else. I have been having trouble with my blood pressure so I haven't been able to get on lately, but it's better now. Thanks for all of your replies. Melanie

>Dr. Semertzides told us that I was the 130th person to have it done. He videoed the proceedure and took pictures to document. It is a type of glue that is used after the adhesions are cut.He compared it to super glue.? It covers the adhesions for two weeks which gives enough healing time to either get rid of them or minimize how many come back.
>He said that when it desolves that it is healthy for you and it is like taking amino acids.? It is not guaranteed to work, but it was my best option. I hope I answered your questions.
