@hoagie I don’t know how you do it! I had obstruction every month after my bowel resection for 5 months. Which is why I was on liquid for 8 months. If I obstructed again I’d just have another resection. I hope things get better for you. Sometimes I think I just want another resection but I’m scared the scar tissue will come right back like last time

@st150799 I was on intravenous feeding (TPN) for about 3 months after my last bowel surgery. They didn't remove any intestine. I don't want to do that again. I had constat diarrhea. I could hardly even leave the house. My doctors all tell me that with more surgery, more scar tissue will form. It might take a few weeks or months for the scar tissue to form.

@st150799 Thank you for the kind thoughts. I get nervous every time I have bad diarrhea or even a bad belly ache. I don't know what my bowels are going to do to me day to day or even by the hour some days. It's depressing and frustrating
