Scar tissue concerns

What you describe would, by now, be more the exception than the rule, yes?

Specifically, the healing going overboard...obviously, it occurs, but with less frequency, yes?

Not really IMO... Most of us get scar tissue and never know about it because it does not create an issue...unless you need another surgery...

Google....it

No, actually almost everyone gets adhesions... They just don't cause severe problems in most people.  The more surgeries you have, the more adhesions you will have, so people with multiple aurgeries are much more likely to have problems with adhesions.

I was just wondering....and yes i will google it......does anyone know if this can present at 19 months out?  I just sailed through my GB.  No issues.  I stay strict with the nutrition rules and water and vitamins and stomach meds....and yet...i am now having pain for the first time!  Sometimes it is even when i drink.  My doc and I are seeing if it isnt a ....well tmi i guess....constipation issue maybe or something else.  He has told me that if i am in serious pain like i was to go to the e.r. and not mess around one little bit.  Sometimes it hurts when i drink, sometimes it is better.  i dont know.  The thought of another surgery...ugh.  but i dont want to mess around either.  I am not complaining and i dont regret my decision at all.  just a little concerned about this thing.  anyone had this?  just wondering.  thanks. 

At 19 months out, it's more likely to be an ulcer or possibly a bowel obstruction.

I had this problem- adhesions- at 12 months and again at 14 months. After the second surgery I felt like a new person.
May of 2009 had wls, then in May of 2010 I had GB surgery but when the dr was in there he saw that the GB wasn't really the problem it was adhesions. He removed them and the Gb but I never really recovered and had to go back in to surgery in July of 2010 to have more adhesions removed.  I haven't had too many problems since then. Occasional pain but not too much.
