Reply to "Blockage"

nor do I know about CA doctors.  some ideas, however, to share with you.

first check the master list on this site for a doctor that you can get to.  btw, help out by updating with any new info.

second, the longest I ever had a blockage was less than a week.  by day five I'm vomiting along w pain and eliminating only liquids.  is this the case?  if not, how do you know there is still a blockage?

finally, the blockage is in the small bowel (of course) and a regular gi doc should be able to determine what to do.  one time I was conveniently in hospital when a blockage occurred.  prior to X-ray, which determines blockage location, I drank a barium type solution.  it happened to move the blockage along.  however, at that time I had a J pouch and another GI doctor managed the situation.

another thought, especially if blockages are a regular occurrence, which hopefully it is not.  during the K surgery, from the J, dr. Dietz (then at Cleveland clinic, now at university hospital in Cleveland) also removed extensive adhesions on my small intestines.  In the seven years since I went from weekly to very few blockages.  point is, at least in my case, there might be a problem that can be resolved.

keep us posted as the more info the better.  hope you get this resolved asap!  jan
