Not sure about adhesions he mainly said scar tissue that I remember.
Area was so big they thought I had a cyst on my ovaries. After a couple of MRI's, they said it was from my diverticulitis.
My decision came after my ER visit. And then made an appt with Colon Rectal Dr.
I had 3 episodes last year and all were after I was back from a vacation. I stayed on a strict diet, and it still did not help. Each trip was days of IBS and I was just fed up.
After My appt with all 3 of my Dr's and counsel of all details of the surgery. I also came on this site and started investigating and seeing what other people were saying. Especially the people that had the surgery.
Other than this stomach issue I was in good health.
I just said to myself:
I do not want to live like this anymore.
I do not want to be in pain anymore
I do not want to be somewhere and have to be rushed to emergency and have surgery by a stranger.
I did not want to be an elderly patient later in life and be miserable.
I want control of my bowls.
I want to eat what I want and not worry. (I was told by Dr's that once you have this it really doesn't matter what diet you are on)
I did not want to depend on taking medicine around the clock. (I depleted all supplies in the surrounding area of Mesalamine. It was the only med. that keep my inflammation at bay, and I even called the manufacturer to find more, and they said it was on pause and back ordered)
I did not want to be on antibiotics so frequently

I made sure I was mentally and physically ready for the surgery and I am so glad I had it done and thankful for this site and my Dr's.
