I know how you feel! I have had abdominal surgeries and suffer greatly with
adhesions! Recently I had a surgery to remove all the abdominal adhesions
and sorry to say the are already starting to grow again!!! I was in the
hospital for 3 wks. with the NG tube in and out, in and out...I have a
wonderful surgeon that takes good care of me and a body that like to grow
those horrible adhesions! In the same boat as you my friend! G. Clark in
