Surgeons Say 'NO', Sending me to GI folks

Welp, forget my long and lengthy history its about 13 abdominal surgeries over decades. Was sent to Shands in Gainesville for eval, and they said, "Nope", inoperable, and now I have to see GI Specialists in Gainesville.

Adhesions have been problems for years, and the surgeries gives temp relief and then back to the same old thing.

Has anyone had to swallow a pill camera?

Last time my GI workup was negative, they opened me and found several high grade partial bowel obstructions in 1994 [adhesions].

Is there any GI test helpful to diagnose frozen bowel and adhesions?

They manage my pain on percocet, and I am dreading this GI workup, who needs it when they are not going to do anything with what they find.
