Reoccurring Bowel Obstructions due to adhesions

Unfortunately, if they try surgery to remove your adhesions, it will just create more. After weight loss surgery, gallbladder removal and internal hernia surgery, I had so many adhesions that a reconstructive surgery was done. It took 7 hours and 4 pints of blood. I haven’t had a bowel obstruction since then.

I am so sorry to hear that. I am nervous/worried/skeptical about surgery... having had 10 or so abdominal surgeries over the last 30 years, you can imagine that it is something I don't really want to consider... but I will go through with a consult, at least, just to hear what they say.
