Thank you for the prayers they are much needed and appreciated. I do pray and I thank God that I am still here and he is helping me through this. I had a laparoscopic tubal in 2010, then a hernia repair in 2011 and in 2012 they tried to do a laparoscopic hysterectomy but due the adhesions caused by the mesh they couldn't get through and had to do an open procedure. Now here I am 2024 was my first SBO and it scared me pretty bad. The surgeon said he does surgery as a last resort. I really don't want to have surgery in my small town again anyways, that's why I have asked him to refer me to the mayo clinic in Phoenix. I am trying to get in to a nutritionist to help me with doing a low fiber diet, everyone seems to agree that is the best way to help decrease the problems.
