Reply to "Continual Blockages"

So sorry for all of the blockages.

I do understand the frustration and confusion with what is going on.

I never had blockages, adhesions or occlusions...never even had a post-op ileus until 2007 or 08...then they started to hit me with a vengeance.

Around 2014 I had my gallbladder taken out and they managed to unblock a loop or bowel that was twisted and stuck. I thought that that was the end of it but I still get occasional semi-blockages and 24h occlusions.

My surgeon said that even going in through laparoscopy creates more adhesions and therefore the cure is a complication in the long run.

Depending on the origin (twists, adhesions, narrowing of the intestine, intestinal paresse (lazy intestine)) you will need a tailor-made solution. It does not sound like this is an easy fix or standard problem...you may have a section of your small bowel that does not receive the message to "squeeze" things through (peristalsis)...no matter which it is you need a surgeon or diagnostician who will take the time and listen to you and not just deal with the emergency of the minute but find you a long-term solution.

Sharon
