Jenncp,

I only go to the hospital if the blockage or occlusion is so severe that I require I.V. fluids or a Naso/gastric tube to help allow the blockage to clear.

Yes, it is very scary...I never know if or when it will hit...but fortunately, with the hernia surgeries (around 8 of them so far) they burn the adhesions and liberate the loop of bowel...it gives me a few years of peace and tranquility...

I've had contrast studies, to try to pinpoint the exact location of the spot...not always successful.

After all of these years, I just know when it is time...especially if I have been having repeat partial blockages and then start having full-blown ones...then I know that I need to call my surgeon.

P.S. he does them all through laparoscopy.
