Home from bangor from seeing my surgeon. All is going well. I have lost 18lbs however. My G-tube came out THANK GOODNESS!!!! My other incision is healing well. still in pain from it all. Still out of work till at least 10/29. Going NUTS Need something to do still limited. Taking care of myself and getting house work done or what i can get done.

I also found out exactly what happened. The dr explained that the spot where he re-routed my intestine it retracted (telescope effect) on itself. Where part of it went up into the re-routed intestine. In the past it would corrected itself only this time it didn't and cause a bad blockage. Lost about 6 inches of intesine as the dr couldnt get it to undo itself. This ISNT a common issue but has been documented in three or four other patients through bangor. The dr explained that between the hernia and the bowel issue this is what was causing my off and on again pain. Thus the assumption that it would undo itself. No gauentee that it won't happen again though.
