Got emergency surgery on May 3rd 2020 (10 days ago)
A day before I felt sick, sharp pain in my tummy that came and went from a 5 to solid 10.
Started vomiting at 5pm for a nonstop 12 hours period
Arrived dehydrated at hospital, got a CT scan and fortunately they were able to fix me on time, before Any complication presented, like removing intestine or staying in ICU
Adhesions covered my intestine at the jejunojejunal anastomosis (the spot where they stitch/unite 2 pieces of intestine) and so producing an intestinal oclusion.
I was so scared and in pain. Thank God I am now recovering at home.
Any one with similar experience out there?
I would love to hear on intestine rehab, what you ate after and how long did it take you to be yourself again
My best wishes to all journeys taking place all around the world. Be safe!
P.s. Excuse my writing. I am mexican (spanish native language) and obviously my english is so rusty
