Recurrance ? Constipation?

[Terrin2]

Could constipation be a sign of recurrence?

Hi Terrin2, the digestive tract normally wiggles, squirms and generally moves as it goes about its business of turning the food we eat into either the nutrients we need or into the waste we eliminate.  For women like us who have had invasive abdominal surgery, adhesions are a fairly common consequence of surgery affecting the stomach and colon (small and large both).  Surgeons usually use a surgical fabric or gel inbetween organs to avoid adhesions from forming.  The most frequent problem with adhesions is a constriction of the small intestine, producing constipation and sometimes causing complete bowel blockage.  This may not necessarily be what you

Thanks for the info.  I thought this could be possible.  I did tell the Dr. about it.  He said something along the lines of this as well.  I had my cat scan one month ago, did not show anything in that area.  Thanks again....
