Hello. I have also had a lot of abdominal surgeries (several hernia repairs, an eptopic pregnancy, and then numerous bowel resections due to colon cancer, a leak, an SBO and a perforation). I developed the SBO exactly two months after my first bowel resection. I was hospitalized for a week to see if it would resolve and it never did, so I had laporoscopic surgery to repair it. (Thankfully not open). It was caused by adhesions and wouldn’t have resolved without surgery. The surgery was successful, however they knicked my bowel during surgery and a fistula developed a month later. I dealt with that for awhile and ultimately that area broke lose and caused a perforation so it was repaired again and he removed more adhesions. The last bowel surgery was in 11/2019 and I had an abdominal wall reconstruction and hernia repairs in 6/2021 and that surgeon also removed some
Adhesions. Like you, I was worried that it would cause more adhesions. I’m sure I’m filled with them but haven’t had any further SBO. I’ve felt symptoms of one, but immediately stop eating and start massaging
