Unfortunately, adhesions is not something you can control. It is just about how the body heals on the inside (the obstruction was due to an adhesion).

It is unusual, however, to happen so soon after surgery. Usually if that happens to a person it happens a year later.

It is just a luck of the draw kind of thing.
