I did forget to mention that just because you've gone 14 years without incident, it does not mean it should be a shock or surprise to develop obstructive symptoms at any time. We form adhesion tissue within a few weeks of surgery and they remain indefinitely. All it takes is for a kink in the gut to occur and you are obstructed. Most of the time, things right themselves and you are back to your normal routine. Anyone who has had abdominal surgery faces this risk.
