The way they found the adhesions was the did a CTScan and i guess the seen the bowel being strangled! Her incision is from the belly button down Ouchhh!!! She had problems for months but like so many of us we all say ya i'll go later! She is resting at home with her daughter 15 yrs taking care of her and my mother inlaw goes over too so she is in good hands! They did use a barrier of some sort so the adhesions won't come back at least we hope! My mother inlaw advise was not to let things go to long she even got on my case about my little tummy aches tomarrow i will be on a doc. search! Painfree hugs to all! As soon as my sister is up to it she will be posting she is real weak right now! Love Colette
