My surgeon at Ohio State UMC says even if I come back with a blockage in 2 weeks they still would not operate bc the adhesions that form just add to further complications . They would only perform surgery after MANY blockages.😢 I would have preferred surgery rather then the pain of a 4 days blockage! I'm good now! Just very tenetive in eating! 🤯🤞

do you always need surgery if you have a blockage? I thought they could suck it out with a vacuum on a proctoscope, at least in some cases. That's what I imagine they did, anyway. Is that not the case?
