Do you know why you suddenly started getting so blockages all the time when you previously never had a problem in so many years? What changed?

Adhesions. My J pouch had a twist in it from adhesions, and a few loops of bowel sort of pinned underneath it, it was literally tied in knots down there so no food could pass, or at least only in dribbles. My understanding is adhesions can develop anytime, even 20 years later. My surgeon spent 9 hours lysing them-the OR nurses nicknamed me “train wreck” as my abdomen was such a mess and the surgery was suppose to be a simple one hour diversion lol. I was also diagnosed with endometriosis a few years ago, so I do wonder if the scar tissue that can arise from that played a part.
