Hi! I am so sorry that you are dealing with this as well. It is not fun. I've had two open bowel resections with removal of adhesions. My last surgery was in June of 2018. They spent 6 hrs removing every adhesion they could find. I have had 7 SBO's since that surgery. I have seen 2 GI docs, a motility specialist, and 4 surgeons. All of them have told me that surgery to remove the adhesions will only make the problem worse because it will simply cause more adhesions to form. I will be traveling to Mayo in a couple of months to see a battery of specialists there who, I am hoping, will help me figure out how to live with the condition I have and hopefully prevent more surgery. Ask lots of questions! And fight for yourself and your care! I have had to push to get as far as I have and I WORK in the medical field. Good luck and keep us posted.
