Help please! Just feel really desperate!
My husband had Jpouch surgeries in 2023. This year in April he had his first bowel obstruction the doctor said it’s due to messenteric defect from previous surgery. He was in severe pain 10/10, his body was shaking due to the pain at the time. They eventually had to cut 85cms of his bowel as it’s dead. Only left with 240cms. Another month in May, he had second obstruction now, the pain was 7-8, and the surgeon said due to adhesion (scar tissue). No bowel was removed, then just cleaned up scar tissues. Now June, he suffered from obstruction again, this time probably is just partial as the pain is just 2-3. Still in the hospital waiting and hope for it resolve by itself, 20hrs have passes, he had bowel movements and little gas but the outputs were very small, seems like still obstruction hasn’t been fully clear.
He also suffers from short bowel syndrome with dehydration issue but it’s sorted out now.
We feel every hopeless and depressed. As we visit hospital every month, we basically don’t enjoy life anymore. And the condition just goes from this extreme to the other extreme, from diarrhea due to SBS and to obstructed can’t pass anything.
Hope can get some advices from you guys as we are very devastated now.😢
