Has anyone with a vp shunt experience an upper bowel obstruction years after their last revision? Ive been in the hospital for 9 days going on 10 and still feeling sick. Like the shunt moves as you grow taller or grow bigger so it rubs against the intestines I guess since thats below the peritoneal cavity. I had gone under laproscopy friday and they had discovered many adhesions in my intestines and the scar tissue is hard not soft. It is also not in one area its in many areas of the intestines. I am on a clear liquid diet and that causes pain and nausea before and after the surgery had taken place. We are trying to avoid more surgery besides the laproscopy because that creates more scar tissue and complications. I need some input here because I want to know if anyone else has had this issue. The symptoms are bad breath, extreme abdominal pain to the point of crying, and consistent vomiting for hours because you cant even keep water down etc. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
