Chronic small bowel obstruction from adhesions

In January I had my first bout with SBO.It was extremely painful and after a week in the hospital I had exploratory laparoscopic surgery.My adhesions were lysed and I went home 48 hours later.The surgery was practically painless and very easy to recover from.I wish I had done the surgery sooner as the symptoms were so much worse .I can not imagine going through the obstruction so many times.

Question....when they did the laparoscopy to get to the adhesions , was your abdomen distended? My surgeon that I have now is saying they could not do it that way because of the distention. I really don't want to be opened wide up again. This would be the 4th time!
Nonnie, my husband had several bouts with sbo. Have an appointment with a new doc about laparoscopic surg.to remove bowel adhesions. Would love to hear details about yours. What doc did u use & what hospital?

Welcome to Connect, @nonnie1,
Thank you so much for responding to ginpene05; it's good to know that the surgery helped. Do you have any thoughts about diet and/or exercise? Did your doctor say anything about recurring scar adhesions?
