adhesions 19 yrs later????

I had my gallbladder removed (the old-fasioned
way) 19 years ago and have never had any problems
since. Last week I was hospitalized and
tortured for a week and diagnosed with ileus
or obstructed bowel. I did not have any surgery-
yet. The surgeon kept telling me it was possibly
caused by adhesions from my previous gallbladder
removal. I have never had any other surgeries.
My questions are: is this possible 19 years
later? And will I have to "give in" and have
some surgery in order to not again experience
the nightmare of ileus again?
Thank you.
