I have been going through this since my appendix ruptured on a cruise ship in 2015. After airlift to the Azores, I had 5 hours of open surgery. Anytime you have abdominal surgery you get adhesions or scar tissue. Scar tissue on the arm is no big deal but in the abdomin it inhibits the movement of the intestines. You can’t see adhesions on any testing. Sometimes you can see where they have pulled things out of place. The only way to fix these is to cut them out during surgery. This just causes more adhesions. The more surgeries, the more adhesions. Sure surgery helps for a time but they all come back eventually. They can also cause an intestinal obstruction. If they do you may need surgery or just an NG tube and decompression in the hospital for a few days. I have had 5 surgeries and now my cecum which belongs in the lower right quadrant is now up by the left lobe of my liver. I am trying not to have surgery yet again.
This is why doctors don’t want to discuss this as they won’t do surgery unless you have an obstruction. It is indeed a terrible place to be.
