ther has to be an answer out there!!
Hi "Onenana",
I'm sure sorry to hear the suffering you're going through and am very greatful that you at least have the resources of this web site. I've been an adhesion related disorder sufferer since 1981, and can't begin to tell you the horrors of dealing with this problem before there were resources. It's been nothing short of a horrible nightmare. It's SO much better now, and improving all the time.
I've had 8 belly surgeries and the time span is decreasing. My current average is 18 months between surgeries and will have my 9th surgery probably next week.
Keep up the hope and know that you are not alone!
