So far they are working bc im only feeling slight pain like a 4 on the 1-10 scale. I have a follow up visit in a week so just have to see what happens

The followup visit went okay. My doctor said to followup with the gastroenterologist to give me tips on what to do since I still can't tolerate fruits and vegetables and I am just starting to tolerate sandwitches again. What I a still confused about is if it is not from what I am eating then how will I know if it will come back. There is no preventing it since scar tissue keeps growing. My mom has a friend who ahs had this problem in the past but she does not have a shunt but has the blockage from another reason and she said to add more water to my diet. I drink lots of water everyday. There is still so much I do not understand about this. I havent had to go back to the hospital but it still seems all new to me.
