Hello @nooral, I would like to add my welcome to Connect along with @heathertink1970 and others. There is another discussion on the topic that you might find helpful here:
--- Chronic abdominal pain from extensive abdominal adhesions: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/chronic-abdominal-pain-from-extensive-abdominal-adhesions/.

You mentioned that your doctors don't want to do any more surgery until you have a bowel obstruction again. I'm a Mayo patient but haven't had an abdominal adhesion. I had a concern last year when I needed a bi-lateral inguinal hernia surgery and my first consult with a surgeon who wanted to do 2 surgeries with a recovery period in between but I was concerned with bowel issues and 2 recoveries and wanted it all done at once. I was fortunate in that Mayo has some great surgeons and when I expressed my concerns, they found a surgeon that agreed with me on doing them both at once.

Are you able to discuss your concerns on waiting until you have an obstruction with them?
