Patricia, You have my sympathy.  You sound alot like me. The only advise I can give you at this point is have pain management.  I would not get another surgery unless you have a blockage.  I have a pain pump which helps some but I still have alot of pain and digestive issues but you don't get the side affects from taking the oral meds. I hope you can get some relief.
