PSJ,

I had surgery last week. They had to go in for other reasons as well (phantom gallbladder pains that turned out to be stones, inflamation and infection in the common bile duct) and a cyst by the liver. While my surgeon was in there he inspected my historic occlusion site (an old colostomy site) that tends to build adhesions and block me. There were some so he zapped them and he found a new site, just below my liver that had adhesed a loop of bowel to my liver...everything was done through laparoscopy...yea! In and out in 2 days, a liquid then soft diet with 72hrs...and now I am careful but doing fine...praise for any surgeon who has enough skill not to open me up!

This has happened before, the last time that he had to go in and liberate blockages and adhesions was December 2014...I am fine with it if he only needs to do this ever 7-10 yrs. So much better than living with a knife hanging over my head...and the terror of occlusions.
