Thanks @Angels333 @JB70
At that time it was a Life threatening Bowel Obstruction (Benign Tumor) Volvulus they called it.
Total obstruction, would not have survived without immediate surgery (to remove it) - turned out it wasn't cancerous.
Bowel rejoin failed (after 1st emergency surgery) - Septic infection, tummy expanded like a Balloon.
So had 2nd emergency surgery - was given a Stoma (bowel disconnected) with bag.
Then 3rd surgery (6 months later) - was to remove Stoma, & reconnect bowels.
Staples were taken out too early, wound split (very large Hernia) - so had 4th surgery (16 months ago), to remove Hernia.
Now this 5th surgery is to repair the results/ damage left from the last (4th) surgery.
Diverticular Disease of the Colon (large intestine) I now have (whatever that is) - I did not have that at the time of the 1st surgeries.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (now) also - caused by those surgeries, not there before that.
