Whats the difference between bowel obstruction and lazy bowels?

I go for my preop test tomorrow and will receive my surgery date after the tests. Years ago I had a hysterectomy and when my Surgeon went in he said I had a kink in my bowels. So I got a blue plate special..and he fixed it since he was already in me. My bowels have always been lazy. I can go for days with no movement. After he did that things passed normally. Now I am back to the old sluggish plumbing and sometimes clogged drain :-). How do most WL Surgeons handle this... I am assuming it will show up in my barium test tomorrow? Terry
