Q: i have mild descending non dilated air loops around small bowel. is this scar tissue? i had gallbladder surgery?

: The X-ray reading if correctly written down from the official report does not make sense. I assume you meant the adhesion from previous abdominal surgery, especially if you had open cholecystectomy not laparoscopic method. Yes, a late complication of abdominal surgery can be ileus due to adhesion.
