I'm 24 and have had multiple small bowel obstructions. They started about six months after i had surgery to remove my appendix... and havent stopped since. Within the last two and a half years have had three partial obstructions in which i was hospitalized with an NG tube for a week and were able to decompress my bowel enough to clear up the obstructions.

Two other times i have had to have surgery, exploratory laparotomy once and laproscopic surgery the other because my bowel was starting to get ischemic....this is not even mentioning the fact that i get extreme pain and vomiting at least once a month from what they tell me are probably partial obstructions that clear themselves up.

I dont want this quality of life.. I am an RN and go to a well known hospital with great surgerons, have seen many GI docs and nobody seems to have any clue. They all tell me i dont have a lot of adhesions and they 'might' not come back this time... but they all ways do. Any ideas... i need advice please.
