Speaking of adhesions....... My j-pouch was diverted first and that was a lapro surgery. I'd had a hysterectomy before my j-pouch and hernia surgeries and they were all open. During the lapro surgery my Mayo surgeon spent 3 hours working on my adhesion/scars. 6 months later my j-pouch was removed in an open surgery and she spent another 5 hours on them. My abdomen was a MESS inside.
I was afraid they would come back as had heard of that in the past. If they are back they aren't bothering me much. I still have abdominal pain but it is nothing compared to what it was before she worked on my adhesion/scars.
These surgeries provided an added benefit as surgeons don't like to perform surgeries on adhesion/scaring alone.
