Had adhesions removed, obstructed bowel

So i am a year and a half post op...at my lowest weight pretty much ever.. chronic constipation issues...take all kinds of prescribed meds and treatment for that ......last week was in the ER with excruciating pain behind my belly button.....CT scan was inconclusive, I was vomiting ( I am not a dumper). So much pain it was unbelievable. I could barely stand up or sit. I had a diagnostic laproscopy three days later and the doctor removed seven adhesions, one of which was obstructing my bowel to where i couldn't go to the bathroom, everything was getting tied off, basically. So now i am home healing, and one of the five incisions on my belly is hard as a rock and sort of has like a marble thing under my skin, which moves when i push on it. It's not inflamed and doesn't really hurt, but I can definately feel it. I do have a call in to the doc. I don't have a fever or anything like that..has anyone else had such a thing? Is it maybe scar tissue from the incision or maybe a popped blood vessel or something? They told me to pull the band-aids off, (not the steri strips). I did, but that thing just sort of rolls around. It's really pronounced since I am at my goal weight. Wondering if anyone else had similar experience Thanks
Wow, what a journey, glad it was taken care of for you. You are doing the right thing, called the doc and watching for fever. It is probably more pronounced than it would be if you were heavier. It is probably just the healing process. Good Luck!
