I have a question. I have had 2 emergency surgeries due to bowel
obstructions caused by adhesions. My last surgery also involved an
adhesiolysis. However, I have daily discomfort which I have been
dealing with in my own way. I have talked to my gastro Dr. about the
adhesions and asked if another bowel obstruction was inevitable and if I
should consider surgery with an adhesions specialst. He really said it
was a 50/50 chance I would have another obstruction which either would
or would not result in another emergency surgery. My questions is,
should I wait till I get myself into another "emergemcy" situation or
should I have a consultation at least with an adhesions specialist, and
consider surgery to remove the adhesions? How can you make that
decision? Thanks alot. - Heather
