They have a pill that they are working on for adhesions? To prevent or to clean out? That would be great if it worked.

The NG worked well on me too, no surgery was needed. I’ve heard though that when bowel obstructions are fixed with an NG tube and not surgery that the obstructions generally happen again since the adhesions are still there. I feel like I’m just waiting for my next one. When I finally went to the ER, and they said I had an obstruction, I realized that I had been dealing with obstructions basically since I was 7. I can remember all of the same symptoms and it would hit multiple times a month. I just waited it out, I didn’t realize that it was an obstruction because I never went to the hospital. I know now.

I’m so sorry that you’re in worse pain that before. That’s how I am too. I had a total hysterectomy last year and I’m in 24/7 severe abdominal pain, which is worse than what it was before my hysterectomy. They did 8 hours of adhesions removal and over a foot of small bowel resection during my hysterectomy. I had an obstruction 4 months after.

Did your hernia stay fixed? Or do you have another one?
