Hi Toni,
I am in the same exact boat as you. I too saw my gyn on Friday and he
recommended having a general surgeon in The O R at the time of the
surgery,Which is November 22nd . My Gyn is out of town for the week
also. Sounds so similar that it is scary. The gyn said that the last 2
times there were quite a few bowel adhesions so he feels that it would
be better for me to have a general surgeon involved. I was really
impressed with the fact that the gyn recommended this. My meds are not
helping me very much if at all. I think that I have become tolerant to
the dosage that I am taking and the pain management Dr. does not want
to increase the dosage, So the only thing left to do is surgery. I too
am hoping that I am making the right decision and I think that I am and
only time will tell. Hope you are feeling better. Peggy
