Hello @tennisfan and welcome to Mayo Connect. I saw your message in another discussion group and thought that this discussion group would be a good place for you to connect with others who have also had adhesions from surgeries.
Could you share a little about when your surgery(s) occurred and how the adhesions have been treated by your medical team? Have you had problems with eating and/or weight loss as well?

The surgeries have taken place over the last fifteen years but I have not had to deal with adhesions until now.
The small bowel obstructions have resolved themselves after four or five days in the hospital with a diet nothing by mouth. Post hospital visit I’m on a low residual diet and avoiding all foods that negatively impact carcinoid tumors.
