Every Dr that I talked to refuses to even consider doing surgery to remove the adhesions, even though they have caused 4 partial bowel obstructions in less then 18 months. They refuse to do any surgery inless there is a complete obstruction. Is this the norm? Also I'm wondering those that have had obstructions, have they been visible on regular Xrays? All 4 obstructions I've had did not show up on a regular Xray but were visible on CAT....I'm just wondering if others have had this happen as well. I had another trip to the ER yesterday ....throwing up, terrible pain and my tummy so bloated you would have thought I was pregnant! This time they only did a regular Xray and since it didn't show a obstruction sent me on my way even though I explained I've never had an obstruction show up on an Xray...

The odd thing is I am going to have surgery for the 10th time an am so looking forward to it because I to agree that a even a little relief is better than non.
