Question:
Has anyone had adhesions emoval & how are you doing now?

I had some ashesions removal 2/17/04. The doctors said I had alot and they hope I don't get any worse. A week after my surgery, I had abd.pain and went to the ER where they said it looked as though I was obstructed again. :( Needless to say I was constipated. Was in-ot for 5 days, and I am currently home. Has anyone gone through this? I feel I'm at my ropes end.    — Karen P. (posted on March 9, 2004)

Hello there. I had a small bowel obstruction in December of 2001, 14 months after my original RNY surgery. I ws obstructed due to adhesions. It was not a fun experience and I would not like to repeat it again. I was in the hospital for 2 weeks, hooked up to a ton of machines while my body was basically poisoning itself from not being able to get rid of waste. Finally, surgery was performed and I am doing great now. Read my profile for more. Good luck and feel free to email me with any questions you might have.
