Life after a small bowel obstruction due to adhesions
Digestive Health | Last Active: 2 hours ago | Replies (6)Comment receiving replies
In 2019 I had a small bowel obstruction and had to have 2 surgeries and now I only have 2ft of my small intestines left, I have my large intestines still.
If you still having pain you should go back to your doctor or back to the hospital because it's not normal.

I did a follow up with my surgeon, even though he ended up not doing surgery, and he told me that it's normal. I asked him to refer me to the mayo clinic, they have accepted me but are waiting to schedule me on e they get more of my records. I also have a follow up with my regular doctor on Tuesday and I am going to tell her as well. It is more just discomfort than pain. I did a bowel test yesterday and it seems to have helped. I feel like I live in fear of food now. Everytime I pass gas or make a bowel movement I am thanking the Lord.
