Dear Amanda, I haven't been on I.A.S. in years. Amanda, I can tell you that the more surgeries you have, the greater the chance of adhesions returning. There's no sure cure. I had a hysterectomy in 2001 and things haven't been right since then. In 2006, I had laparoscopic surgery In Pa., with Dr. Gerhart. He removed minimal adhesions, took down a rectal stricture,removed my appendix, and removed a Meckel's diverticulum from the small bowel. But now again, I'm not feeling well at all. Colonoscopy yesterday didn't show blockages. I am very concerned and very uncomfortable. Millie
