Reoccurance of Intussusception??

[lisa6013]

I have had intermittent sever upper right quadrant pain for the past year.  Four months ago my surgeon did an exploratory lap, and took out my appendix.  I am still having the same pain that I had prior to surgery.  One year prior to this surgery, I was having pain, and had surgery, and it was found that I had an intussusception, which is very rare in adults.  About a year and a half before THAT surgery, I had horrific pains, and had to have emergency surgery, and they found an internal hernia, and partial small bowel obstruction.  These all, I am told, are complications from my lap rny (gastric bypass) surgery that I had in 2003.  I had a tummy tuck in 1994.  I also had a c-section in 2000, and my gall bladder was removed in 1995.  My first surgery was when I was two weeks old.  I had pycloric stenosis, which is rare for baby girls....  so.... I obviously have adhesions, but  my surgeron assures me that I do not have any adhesions on my stomach lining, that they were removed in the past couple of surgeries...  I have heard that people can have a reoccurance of intussusception...  if so, what tests would confirm that, because I have had some CT's done, but never showed any blockage, or anything.  Two weeks ago I had deep red blood on my stool for the first time, and I know that this also could mean another intussusception (as well as other things).  The pain or attacks as I call them does not happen every day, and it doesn't matter what I eat.  When I do have an attack, it can last anywhere from one hour to 12 hours.  The pain is a 10, on a scale of 1-10...  what can I do????  I am so tired of being in pain!  Depression has started to set in.........  Please help!!

Thank you!!!
