Hi, has anyone had bowel adhesions from the scarring of surgery and ended up having bowel obstruction, if so did this ever happen again and were you able to go on holiday?
My mum had several abdominal surgeries and adhesions did trouble her for a bit but strangely enough after a few years they settled and she was never troubled by them again . At one point she even had to watch eating whilst she was out that she did not twist to talk to other friends . We had to place her in the middle etc . It did not obstruct completely though .
She traveled abroad afterwards and had no difficulty .
Many thanks for your reply. I ended up with full obstruction and in hospital for emergency surgery. After that I developed an infected Seroma which needed draining, it seems never ending!
It was not until I googled adhesions that I realised exactly why she was having difficulty and I could see why it causes obstructions . I remember her going on soft diets for a few days at a time when things got rough but she managed to get there .
That was a rough time for you and very frustrating when you want to get through it all and back on with your day to day life .
Thank you for your reply’s, hopefully things will get better over the coming months, I’ve got a follow up appointment with the gastro team this month to hopefully put in plans for future care,
