Gee, what a bunch of jerks (I am thinking of something else, but can't post it here)! most of us abhor going to the ER, but being basically admonished for wasting their time is certainly unexpected. Obstructions often clear on their own without specific treatment, but that does not mean it is wrong to go to the ER when you have escalating symptoms.
Sometimes I wonder why some people enter the field of medicine. Sort of like people who hate children and become school teachers! Good thing there are more good guys than bad guys...
It can take a week or two for the swelling and irritable gut to simmer down. Until you are feeling back to normal, stick with the fiet that worked for you during your early post op period. Take it easy and you should be feeling better soon.
