@jojo13. I just got out of the hospital because I was having terrible stomach pain. I've had several previous surgeries, and the first test, after labs, was a CT, which seemed to indicate a bowel obstruction. After 4 days, I was finally transferred to another hospital with a higher level of care, as well as the surgeon who worked on me 10 years ago. I went straight to surgery, and he found and repaired a ton of scar tissue. I don't do well post surgery, so I was pretty much out of it for the next ten days. Now that I'm back home, I'm transitioning from the full liquid diet to soft regular food and the pain is gone (until the next time).

Previous surgeries included a 45" small bowel resection, a toxic mega colon, peptic ulcers, and at least 3 bowel obstruction. It's no wonder there was scar tissue!

I agree with what others have said. What you're experiencing could be very serious and not to be ignored.

I hope you have found a doctor who has taken you seriously and is acting professionally.

Jim
