In 1989 I had my appendix and gall bladder removed. In 1995 I had a
tubal ligation and the gynecologist found adhesions. In 1997 I had
laproscopic surgery due to endometriosis and in 1999 ended up having a
hysterectomy due to chronic pain from endometriosis and adhesions. My
gynecologist was amazed at how bad my adhesions were. I am now having
constipation problems. I went to a general surgeon and he ordered a
colonoscopy, which was negative. I have altered my diet,
fiber/fruit/veggie intake, exercise, drinking plenty of fluids, etc. but
get no relief. I have been looking at the photos on this site. I am
wondering what the symptoms of bowel obstruction are, and how would one
know it is to the point of perforation or serious complications?
