Hello - how approachable is your Consultant? are they the type you can have a free & frank discussion with without them getting defensive if you ask questions?

I'm sure you've already done this, but definitely worth explaining carefully how much impact the current situation is having on your daily life - & asking if there's anything that can be done to ease situation by freeing some stuff up, even if it doesn't involve removing all adhesions/separating everything.

Have they explained how much bowel damage could be caused & how permanent temporary the effects of any damage might be?

I always think there is no harm in asking them to consider at least taking another look & assessing situation - surgical techniques are developing all the time, so just cos something wasn't feasible at one point, doesn't mean it will always be impossible.

There is always the option to ask for a second opinion/ask if there's anywhere more specialist you could be referred to, but can appreciate that if this is a Consultant you have established a good, trusting relationship with, then you don't necessarily want to rush into introducing anyone else to the mix.

I really hope there is something that can be done to help x x
