Kris,
You sound like your insides were exactly like mine, my gyn removed the
omentum saying this is the part of the intestines that causes the colon
to get stuck. My transverse colon was stuck to the pelvic floor, and
was smothering the small bowel, and thehad tons of DENSE adhesions all
over it too, even tho I was 5 months out of another surgery. I hope you
feel better soon.
