Reply to "Small Bowel Obstruction Surgery?"

hi , have you had the surgery yet? How are you doing?  I just had a mr of the pelvis & abdomen , ,y dr. Reccomends to remove a piece of the small bowel where my ostomy hookup was, due to obstruction, want to do it, for I'm uncomfortable every time I eat. & drink , but nervous of having surgery again & ruining what I have. Any advice? Originally Posted by Lyndse:

I am actually having this surgery next month. I can't say that I am looking forward to it. I too have had regular obstructions (every 6ish months) since 2011. Its draining, becuase in general I feel great! I eat a regular diet and lead a very active life, except for when I get am obstruction. I feel at this point I am kind of out of options.  The last time I was in the ER the doc, was encouarging me to have the surgery. All the Xrays, CTs, and drugs that I need for obstructions are not good for me in the long run either. I also live in a small town and if I have a big obstruction and need surgery, they don't have anyone familar with Jpouch's and who knows what kind of outcome I might have. My surgeon who did my orginal surgery, I fully trust. I also will have a quick scope this week to check my pouch, prior to the upcoming surgery. Hoping for the best! Good luck to all who are on this same journey, what a ride~
