Yes, I had my first stomach surgery in 1981. About ten yeas later I started having almost monthly partial obstructions due to adhesions. I finally was able to deal with these by doing clear liquids for a few days and then gradually adding in food and by using visceral massage. It worked for twenty years and then I had a bad episode and was hospitalized and has surgery. That surgery had changed my life terribly. I have had a five year period of increasing stomach and entire body problems. In hindsight I wish I had never done that second surgery. Everyone has to make their own path. I know well the pain that adhesions cause and detest NG tubes. My best to you that you may find the best path for you!
