Hi There,
it sounds like you have had a very complicated time. If the pathology reports on all your surgeries have been benign, then it is likely that you have more adhesions causing the current problem.
In all your surgeries and admissions, is there a doctor whom you have worked with that you like and trust?
You should go see that person and go over all your surgeries and reports so that you can get a better understanding of what is going on right now
best wishes
