When this happened to my mother, I FREAKED THE HELL OUT. Her doctor refused to operate on a ******* BOWEL OBSTRUCTION?? I went apeshit, and pulled all the strings I had with Elariny (my mom lives in NoVA and was at Fairfax INOVA Hospital). I got his chief resident assigned to her case over her regular doctor, and she called me at least once and sometimes twice a day, and reassured me that decompression and resting the bowel could clear it up - which is a good thing, because my elderly, diabetic, hypertensive, lymphedemic, CHF at that time 81 year old morbidly obese mother was not exactly a good surgery risk. I was scared to death - but she went home in about a week. And she's 82 now.

That's what I did the first time this happened but somewhere in the midst of that, I read what you had posted about this treatment. Calmed me the hell down so thank you!!! It worked the first time and now it has worked the second time. He needs to eat right and quit ******* around! He also has diverticulitis and about 8 or 9 years ago he had a huge abscess and blockage they had to operate on and remove. He ate almost an entire can of honey roasted peanuts the day before he was admitted this time, which was why I chewed him out. WTF?
