This is the first I have heard of the "Surgical Experts" in Germany. Is
there a message board on their site? Can you get names of patients that have
recently had surgery with them for adhesions so you can email them to see
how the whole procedure went for them? What is their success rate for
adhesion surgery? Do they use an adhesion barrier? I did go to Germany in
2005 for surgery with Dr. Kruschinski. I did very well. So happy the pain
was gone and I could do things again. I even returned to work. 7 weeks
post-op I got hurt, a year later I tripped and landed flat on my abdomen,
damaged my chin and left knee. Feb. 2007 had gallbladder removed. After that
the adhesion monsters returned with a vengeance. I had to quit work again.
Now they are worse than they have ever been. They control my life! I would
like to go back to see Dr. Kruschinski, just short on money at this
time. Good luck to you! Cheryl. Feel free to email me too!
