Reply to "Blockage"

I had my j-pouch surgery in 2012-13, and in the years after that I had a number of painful blockages that sent me to the hospital. The gastroenterologist in charge there, who is also a surgeon, had been keeping an eye on my frequent hospital visits and finally recommended surgery to remove adhesions, in consultation with my regular gastro doctor. It was laparoscopic, just an hour or two, shorter and easier than he'd expected. Since then I've had no obstructions at all.  So, don't be afraid of getting adhesions removed.
