hi dear, I have gone through your question and I understand your concern.
Adhesions from previous abdominal surgery in post surgical period is one of the important causes of the above symptoms which you are addressing. since you have undergone surgical procedure it will be best that your Consulting surgeon do complete examination for asserting the appropriate cause for underlying condition. Though I would recommend you not to worry about the issue as most SBO RESECTION surgeries have good prognosis.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
