That must be frustrating, @marshae. Are you able to go to a larger city (or get a ride with someone) in order to get a second opinion?

I'm glad that you are working at finding a helpful eating plan. It seems that everyone has different reactions to foods that can either help or hinder the problem. I would like to follow your progress. Will you keep in touch and provide updates as it is convenient for you?

Forgot to mention that my husband and I are avid travellers. We have had to cancel 2 major trips since spring because of this. My travel insurance would not cover me if something happened while away or if I had to cancel due to this problem.

Hi: Wanted to let you know an update. I had an appointment with the GI specialist this morning. He says he is cautiously optimistic that the new meds I have been on for several months will be the answer. He does not feel it is a mechanical problem and the surgeon has confirmed that. I am seeing the surgeon at the end of this month as the GI people requested that he take a second look at my CT scans.

I feel very hopeful that this will work out. The doctor also said that he feels I will be safe to travel as long as I travel to a country with good medical coverage. If I can make it to March that will be 6 months since my last obstruction and we will book a trip.

Thank you for asking me for follow up information. I really appreciate your interest.
Marsha
