Sherry, I just want to say good luck and give you some support,this all
has happened to me also, first the initial bowel blockage, then illious,
but continual after the first one for me. I have fought thr illiouses
since my bowel resection and it is (as you know) a continual battle to
fight. I have to be VERY careful what I eat as the small intestine is
so weakened now from the removals. Good luck,hon, and you are more than
welcome to come over to my personal email and talk more about this if
you would like, again good luck and know you are not alone, sincerely
