Adhesions - looking to find out an average of how many people have had this problem.

A friend of mine who had surgery right after I three years ago was rushed into surgery yesterday for adhesions causing a bowel obstruction. This was one of my own doctors concerns when I asked his opinion about doing the gastric bypass surgery, his concern was the possiblity of adhesions that could develop for the next 30 years. I had the gastric bypass, then tummy tuck, then surgery again for hysterectomy to remove ovarian cycst, all done in the last three years so now I am curious of the average amount of people who have had to deal with the adhesions. I worry about another abdominal surgery!
