Some surgeons said i need to do other operation to look at the bowel again i do not know what i can do. It is effect all my life and i am not able to concentrate anything properly at all.

Hi Umut and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
I don't have the experience you're looking for, but I noticed that your post hadn't had any replies yet. Responding to you will 'bump' it back to the top of the discussion list where it will be more easily spotted.
While you're waiting for replies you could have a look through some of the existing posts and respond to any of the posters who you think might have a similar diagnosis to yourself.
