So sorry. I understand I had a blockage 4 weeks after my resection due to scar tissue. I was in the hospital for 3 1/2 weeks with an ng tube for a week then ended up having surgery. The only plus is that my surgeon decided to reverse my ileostomy at the same time so I wouldn't need surgery later. Made chemo a little tougher due to diarrhea but I made it through. That was almost 4 years ago and still blockage is my biggest fear. I hope you are feeling better.
