Hi Lou...found it! Having to go to Germany is a terrible curse for Canadians....and I don't know what to do about it but feel I must...I am in touch with a couple of women with one who was in Germany with me and another who I contacted prior to going who had a fairly good success there. Is the Haemacure being used in Canada? Guess I should read the link...sorry...just spending so much time reading these emails that there isn't much time for anything else. I am sure Mark from Seattle would know something about it. He is very good at researching the ARD subject.

.Hi Donna I was asking all that had been to Germany, I was wondering if the spray gel worked, I am pleased for you that it was a success, I feel that one must have a adhesion barrier after any abd surgery if not their is no protection from adhesions. We should not have to go to Germany for this kind of surgery,Canada is not in 2009 its in the dark ages, I would like to find out how many Canadians are suffering with this, I was told alot and not all women.it would be good if we could fined them.it time that we had a adhesion barrier and a good surgeon that understands adhesions. I spoke to a very nice man today works for a company called. HAEMACURE. it has been working on a very good adhesion barrier, its been tryed on 151 people, with good results, it makes interesting reading http://www.haemacure.com The US appears to have a few good surgeons who understand adhesions, I wish that I could go to one of them that has been spoken of in this forum I thing I am going to do is write a letter to my M.P.any port in a storm. Fed up!!!!!!!! Lou
