Hi @kjaffee, you'll see that I moved your post to the previous discussion you were in. We try to keep like conversations together so anyone replying can go to one central discussion to catch up.

I think a straight forward question just as you posed it would be fine, that you need clarity on the urgency of the need for surgery.

I would also ask, Which dietary modifications are used in the treatment of superior mesenteric artery (SMA) syndrome after surgery?

Is the surgery life threatening?

What is the quality of life after SMA surgery?
