Subject: Do I have adhesions, does it sound familiar??
> I had a laprascopicaly assisted vaginal hysterectomy. Then two vaginal

> the vaginal vault, this was cut and the small intestine relocated and
> the colon put in its place. I have since had a subacute bowel
> obstruction, this was very painful. The doctors were reluctant to 'go
> in' again, a colonoscopy was done this found no problem in colon.

> This has all happened in the last two months. I feel like i have been

> with colon wouldn't have shown as the bowel had been prepared and it was
> empty, my problem occurs when it is full. The pain in my lower back and
> front is great. It's as if someone has sewn my bowel to the abdominal
