Thanks Marion,
I have been to the surgeon today and I now
have Buscopan for the pain.
He does not want to operate at the moment as
the operation could be quite big as the small
bowel is sitting rather low and not where it is
meant to beand will need to be moved from its
current positon. Probably stuck to the abdomanl wall.
I have an xray form to use next time I get an
obstruction so as he can see where it is actually
obstructing and then he can deal with it.
Basically he does not to disturb things any more than
he needs to. He was really understanding and listened
to me burble on for ages. I felt alot better when I
came out. Although the thought of major surgery does
make me worry. I will keep you posted.
There have been some kind and thoughtful advice coming
through about different surgeons but I am in New Zealnd
and they are on the otherside of the world. the surgeon
I have seems to be swithched on though.
I am glad to hear that I am not alone with my pregnant
looking stomach.
I must admit I do enjoy the look on peolpes faces when
I tell them that actually I am not pregnant, although
at time it really does get me down.
Regards
Christine
