Reply to "emergency surgery"

Yes, unfortunately, anyone who has abdominal surgery, intestinal surgery in particular, is forever at risk for small bowel obstruction. But, you can't let it consume your thoughts or make you afraid to eat or be active, since there is nothing you can do to prevent it.

The good news is that just because you had this complication, it does not mean you are doomed to repeat it. It generally is quite random, which I guess is part of the anxiety it provokes. It may be difficult at first, but you will soon put ths behind you and get back to your life.
