HI, @fergalicious - welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect.

I'm tagging a few members from around this site who have participated in different support groups and talked about having a small intestine resection. Please meet @kgrear @phyllisden @ericnjeffrey @taneall @siluka. @hopeful33250 also may have some thoughts for you. Although some of them may have had a small intestine/bowel resection for a different reason than the one you had for a blockage, they can tell you if they or their loved one who had this surgery has experienced painful spasms and if so, how they managed them and how long they lasted.

fergalicious - do you have any of the test results back that the new surgeon is running on you currently? If so, what has he found so far?

@lisalucier thanks for all the names! So far, they found gallstones, tiny hernia, some plaque build up, some nodules on the outer edges of my lungs, a small clot in my upper right lobe of the lung, diverticulosis. I still have to have an mrcp test done.
