Jim,

Adhesions can cause these symptoms most definetely are the most likely source of this type of symptom....I just know that I can go without these symptoms for a long period of time and then all of a sudden I get a hernia and they begin. But, I do feel that I at times have partial obstructions so perhaps that is the reason behind my having these symptoms as well.

I pray that your adhesiolysis procedure is successful and that you are back to your old self in no time. Who is performing your procedure? Will it be at Froedtert?

Once again good luck!

Karla
