in sept. 98 i had abdominal surgery, namely a gastric bypass. in feb. 00 i suffered excrutiating pain which resulted in another surgery for an adhesion which knotted or kinked up the bowel causing obstruction. in oct. 00 i had a hernia repair and then last week [1/9/01] i had pain again which resulted in another adhesion sticking to my intestion. the strange thing seems to be that these happen spontaneously and there is just a single band or thread of adhesion, not the normal cobweb type. is there anything i can do or not do, treatment, cure, preventative..... three surgeries in 11mo. and being out of work so much is a bit much for anyone. seeking info.
