I can totally relate! I have been battling adhesions since 1990 - I have
a partial small bowel obstruction due to the adhesions and have similar
symptoms - I too have pain when I eat (and pain pretty much all the
time) and my Dr tried to tell me last week to take anti-depressants
since my symptoms are similar to IBS - I do not have IBS and refused the
meds and will not go back to that Dr - I would caution you on taking
some of the meds they prescribe for IBS since people that have adhesions
should not take most of them - it certainly sounds like you could have
adhesions with your surgical history - I can also relate to "people" not
thinking it is real...good luck to you....feel free to write me back if
you would like to "talk". At this point I have had 6 adhesion surgeries
(and 4 others) no surgeon wants to touch me again as I just had my last
surgery in August 2004 and had only 6 months relief until I developed
the SBO.if you would like to hear more or share more of your story just
let me know. I too have had to endure many horrible procedures just to
satisfy the docs - I know what I have but it is so very hard to find a
good doc....
