I think I have constipation right now and I just heard about this so now Im doin everything I can to get cleared up. I don't wanna have surgery. My upper rib hurts when I move but I don't see how that could have anything to do with it. See I get really paranoid in situations like this. If I hear about somethin I think I have it. Lol. I just really need to get rid of this constipation.

hey, my dad recently has had 3 SBOs from adhesions due to ruptured appendix in the past month,each time treated with NG tube. they won't do surgery b/c they say its gonna get worse. its scary, a couple questions if u don't mind.have you had any SBOs since surgery? what is your diet like? was your SBO partial or complete?

@lightsabre5511 Hi there and thanks for the question :) Firstly I hope your dad comes right, adhesions are nasty and can return especially with subsequent surgeries unfortunately. I found out later it wasnt the adhesions that caused it, my b.o was because my bowel was sewn closed. It was complete obstruct. Have had large b.o 1 tme b4 this in the u.k. I do avoid certain foods and i only eat at night due to a pre existing bowel condition.

Wow! --- My heart goes out to you. --- I hope you're feeling better. --- I have a co-worker, friend, getting this operation on thursday.

Truly amazing video. I just got discharged myself after being diagnosed with SBO. Mine was from scar tissue from a hernia operation as a kid. Your video made me realize how lucky I am. Thank you for that. And hope all is well.

Kirst, forgot to mention that while I had the bowel blockage I had a kidney stove too. Kidney stones are another side effect from Crohn's. Fun Fun Fun. I had a question how were they able to put an NG tube in you while you are awake. I find it so hard for the nurse to put that in me. You remember any tricks to make it easier? Thanks for you imput.

Hi

Kidney stones too, how painful!!! I had no N.G tube, the only time they offered to stick one in was while I was vomiting violently, so I always said no, unless they gave me some sedation with it, they refused to give me any relaxants so I was never given a tube. Its crazy, because in the past when I have had a gastroscopy they have had to sedate me hardcore, or I start to rip the tubes out (I'm not aware of this at time). In special cases they can sedate, they just didn't with me,.

I was just in the hospital last week with an intestine blockage. Most pain the human body can experience. My problem is from Crohns Disease so I am always in and out of the hospital. Being in the hospital makes you so depressed. Hope you are well now.

Hi there, gah you poor thing!!! Yes bowel obstruction is truely foul, did they fix it surgically or conservatively with a nasal gastric tube etc.

Crohns is such a hard disease, I have a friend with it and they had to have their whole large bowel removed, I have empthy for all sufferers.

I hope you stay well and strong. My health is up and down but hey Im alive!

KInd regards

Kirst

I have had three small intestine resections over the past 30 years. Everyday is a new adventure. Not one day that goes by where I have no pain. If I have a blockage I usually can ride it out at the hospital with lots of morphine until its eases up. Maybe someday they will find a cure for Crohn's Disease :-)

Ozwizard ask away I don't mind questions. Yes I am in this video, It shows my journey, and as I got sicker how the meds affected me (bloating etc), but now my appearance is back to pre operation.
