My brother had a small intestinal blockage last week and had surgery. He did not get better, but his belly commenced to bloat. He started running a very high fever and continued to bloat. He was in extreme pain and started hallucinating. They did surgery again this morning and the doctor said it was adhesions. I never knew adhesions could grow so quickly. He had his first surgery Saturday, June 16th and his adhesion surgery today, June 23rd. Can this be? I saw your subject of bloating and it peaked my interest because his belly bloated so much he couldn't breathe.

Anybody you can help, please respond. Thank you. Jane
