Sorry about surgery! But I have had jpouch 34 years. Have had 80 blockages. In hospital 50 times. Anyway I was in for 3 days once and no surgery was done. 2-3 days about 5 times. Finagren and Morphine plus lots of fluids and I go upside down on a couch along with massage helps get rid of it. Good luck. I had scar tissue taken out 15 years ago. Now getting bad again!
