Has there been anyone here that the drs used seprafilm? I know the gyn used interceed on my surgeries, and he said that he felt it worked better!

The general surgeon that I talked to, but he did one adhesion at a time, and he kept opening you up every 6 months to do one, after a NG test no one EVER heard of, he uses seprafilm. But the trouble with him, is mine are so extensive to do one at a time. he has a patient I saw her in his office last year, and he did 25 laparotomies on her! And she looked like it, and she was AOT younger than I am my husband even feaked out. My gyn said there is no reason to do ONE at a tme, would not even work in my case cause of the density and thickness. But the general he would work with could use seprafilm, but again like Interceed, there is not a quarantee. Like the pain center nrse said uesterday, they are going to have to find SOMETHING that WILL release these adhesions for people like us !
