Raijean,
I had a TAH in January,at which time she also removed adhesions from around the bowel. When I spoke to Dr. Redan, he told me adhesions can start forming right after surgery. I have had pain and problems with moving bowels. I feel somewhat better than I did, but not the best. I am left with only one ovary. Yesterday and this afternoon, I had some pain with urinating.

hello all!!
my name is raijean and i am sorry, buti havent posted in a long while.
i have been recovering from a hysterectomy (partial) due to endometriosis and
later had a small bowel resection. the resection occured in january because i
had a tumor wrapped around my small intestines. the tumor was benign, thank
goodness! during the resection, the surgeon removed the tumor (size of a
baseball), a substantial part of my intestines, my (inflamed) appendix and
adhesions, which had formed from the hysterectomy (just 8 weeks earlier).
after i was back on my feet i intially felt great!! however, now i am in the
same pain i was in prior to my procedures. i am working, but only part time.
when i am not at work, i am home in bed--too tired to do anything, even to go
for a walk outside. when i have walked, i cant seem to last very
long......especially without pain. this is not normal! i saw my primary care
physician on friday and we are back to scheduling CAT scans. it has also hurt
to urinate or pass bowels---just as it did before. does anyone know how long
it takes for the adhesions to return--if they do?? well, feel free to
respond...i just appreciate all of you listening!!! take
care--------------raijean (ohio)
