@@Syl 153 Adhesiolysis is the term they use for cutting always the scar tissue that has stuck to other organs I think. You get these adhesions from any surgery.

Thank you so much for your replies. I've been unable to log in to post on here for some reason. I spoke to the hospital and they stated that the pain was from them having to cut away a lot of scar tissue from 2 previous c sections from 1997 and 2000 during the bypass as it was obstructing. I am feeling well other than the pain. I am tolerating Fluid really well and building in Protein everyday. I have no temperature, blood pressure is good and the hospital confirmed that I would not be doing so well if it was a problem with the surgery itself. I'm happy that I know what it is and they have put my mind at ease. I have been given stronger pain killers and some liquid stuff for constipation as I'd not had a bowel movement. I have now!! So onwards and upwards. I'm still not hungry but enjoy the smell of the food the family are eating. I'm excited to have finally got the op after being in the system for 2 and half years. Feeling really positive. Sore, but positive.

Hi all. I'm 4 days post op and having severe pains in my lower abdomen which make it difficult to move around. I called the on call registrar last night who wasn't concerned as I'm feeling well otherwise, tolerating fluids etc. The pain is really bad however. I have read my notes today and after googling the jargon it seems they found a lot of adhesions in my pelvis which they removed (adhesiolysis). Has anyone else had this done? I'm wondering if this level of pain is to be expected or if something is wrong? All advice welcome.

My surgery is at Luton and Dunstable hospital on June 9th. Bit scared, but very excited.
