Guest guest Posted July 25, 2001 Report Share Posted July 25, 2001 Hi Giselle, it's just Beth. Rose is my last name. Thanks for answering my question. i had another consultation w/ my 2nd opinion RE surgeon today and i asked him about the possibility of lupron changing the fibroid tissue matter. he said he knows this is mentioned a lot by the medical community, but in his experience it has not caused this to happen. supposedly this doc is one of the best in my area, if not the country, and he is also a teaches laparoscopy to others in a teaching hospital. not to say one doc is better than the other, i'm just saying what i know about him b/c i have only just met him last week. yes, how does the Interceed prevent adhesions? i'd like to know more about that when you can. i'm open to everything, so i'll be here when you have time.
