lynette,
That is alot of surgery in 4 years, are they doing your next surgery
through th scope, or are you having another laparotomy? M drs will nt
even do a lap or quite sometime, now the way I am having so much trouble
having a bowel movement, I am getting afraid of any moe surgey, seems
ike the adesons have realy slowed my bowel down now.
I wish you very much luck, and will be thinking of you, if you decide to
have another surgery let us know when and how you are doing.
