Reply to "Another obstruction didn’t sign up for this!"

Partial obstructions can be very difficult to see with imaging studies. Obviously it was real.

For the current problem, are you able to drink water? Are you well-hydrated, with light-colored urine? Are you able to hold down liquids with some nutrition, like grape juice? Are you vomiting? Are you still producing stool and/or gas?

A partial obstruction will usually clear on its own, but it’s important to stay hydrated, even if it takes an IV. A complete obstruction is a big deal.
