  2. Thank you for sharing your experiences. I still have painful cramping, but am able to pass gas and have bowel movements. I am hoping it is my body adjusting to digesting and passing foods again. It's not clear what foods may be triggering the gas that is causing the cramp pain. (I was not put on any food restrictions) I have a follow-up appointment with my surgeon in 5 days.
  3. I was wondering if anyone has had a bowel obstruction corrective surgery and what their experience was in recovery? I had an open exploratory surgery 5 days ago to correct a bowel obstruction. The cause was scar tissue from my gastric bypass that was 10 months ago. I'm still having cramping and not sure if that is recovering from the surgery or something more. Any experience shared is much appreciated.
  4. I had the similar symptoms and it was a bowel blockage due to scar tissue. I had a surgery to correct. A CT scan showed the blockage. Good luck!
  5. Yes, I just had open surgery to correct scar tissue causing a bowel blockage 6 days ago. I had stomach / abdominal pain.
